About this map

Jewell serves as the primary landmark in this corner of Clatsop County, where the Nehalem River winds through a complex drainage basin. The landscape is defined by its industrial timber history, evidenced by an extensive network of ridge-top and valley-bottom roads such as Buster Creek Mainline, Walker Ridge Rd, and Sager Creek Ridge Rd. These routes track the difficult terrain from the heights of Green Mtn down into the fertile Nehalem Valley.

The hydrography is particularly dense, with numerous named tributaries like Beneke Creek, Lousignont Cr, and Sager Cr carving deep into the hillsides. The naming conventions throughout the quadrangle, including Perry Smith Rd and Cahill Rd, suggest long-standing local ties to the land. This map provides a detailed view of the modern forestry and transportation infrastructure as it existed in 2020.
