1941 Map of Siltcoos Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Siuslaw River forms a critical corridor through the coastal landscape of Central Oregon, meeting the Pacific Ocean just north of Florence. This early 1940s survey reveals a region defined by its massive freshwater systems, including the interconnected waters of Siltcoos Lake, Woahink Lake, and Tahkenitch Lake. The transport network reflects the era's reliance on both the Southern Pacific railroad and the developing Oregon Coast Highway, which snakes between the dunes and the rising timber of the Siuslaw National Forest. Inland from the coast, small communities like Cushman and Glenada serve as hubs for the local river economy. Local genealogy and school history are preserved through labels for the Idlewilde Sch and Fiddle Sch, while the presence of Siltcoos Lookout highlights the importance of fire surveillance in the heavily forested terrain of Lane County and Douglas County.
