2012 Map of Smith River

About this map

The Smith River estuary and the surrounding coastal terrace define this landscape along the California and Oregon border. In the early 21st century, the area maintains its rural character, anchored by the community of Smith River and smaller nodes like Winton Corners and Tryon Corner. Cultural history is noted at the Indian Cem near Yontocket, reflecting the deep roots of the local population. The map illustrates a complex network of coastal water features, including Tillas Slough, Yontocket Slough, and the larger Pelican Bay to the south. Recreational and maritime interests are represented by the Ship Ashore Race Track and the Smith River Public Fishing Access, while the rugged offshore environment is punctuated by landmarks such as Prince Island, Hunter Rock, and Cone Rock. Coastal access is preserved at Pelican State Beach, situated just south of the state line.
