About this map

Clatsop State Forest dominates this topographic record, illustrating the extensive timber and conservation management of the Oregon Coast Range in the late 1970s. The Nehalem River winds through the northern and western sections of the quadrangle, serving as a primary drainage for numerous tributaries like Sager Creek and Beneke Creek. The settlement of Jewell appears near the river's bend, while the interior is characterized by a network of logging and access roads, including Buster Road and Walker Road.

Evidence of local industry and resource extraction is visible through features such as the Buster Creek Quarry and another Quarry near the northern boundary. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves specific locations of interest like Doc Rankins Place and the Buster Camp (Site). Elevated landmarks such as Stanley Mountain and the Lookout Tower on Green Mountain provide perspective on the relief of this managed forest landscape.
