2014 Map of Smith River Falls

About this map

Siuslaw National Forest encompasses the majority of this Oregon coastal range landscape, defined by a complex network of drainage basins and high ridges. The Smith River serves as the central artery, fed by numerous tributaries including Rachel Cr and Wasson Cr. Significant elevation changes are visible at Wasson Ridge and a unique landform identified as The Island. The mapping reflects a region managed for timber and conservation, dominated by a grid of Bureau of Land Management and National Forest roads such as Nat For Dev Rd 2313 and BLM 15 3. At the heart of the hydrography is Smith River Falls, a notable natural landmark on the river's course. The density of named creeks like Fisher Cr and Bear Cr illustrates the intricate watershed geography that characterizes this part of Douglas County.
