2011 Map of Summit

About this map

Summit and the nearby settlement of Nashville serve as the primary hubs in this corner of the Oregon Coast Range, where the headwaters of several major drainage systems diverge. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring the winding Yaquina River, the Luckiamute River, and the Marys River. For those researching local history or genealogy, the presence of Summit Cemetery, May Stouts Cemetery, and Claremont Cemetery provides concrete anchors to the early families of the region. The map highlights the high-elevation terrain between Little Grass Mountain and Bonner Mountain, illustrating a network of logging and access roads like Marys River Rd and Gage Rd that connect isolated clearings and camps. Distinctive landmarks such as Happy Hollow and Granite Canyon reveal the varied geography of this timber-rich environment at the start of the 2010s.
