2014 Map of Summit

About this map

Summit and Nashville anchor this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of several major drainages emerge from the Coast Range. The map illustrates a complex hydrographic divide, where the Yaquina River and its tributary, the Little Yaquina River, flow westward toward the Pacific, while the Luckiamute River and Marys River move eastward toward the Willamette Valley. This 2014 survey documents the persistence of small upland settlements and agricultural pockets like Happy Hollow, connected by a network of ridge-top and valley-floor roads including Summit Hwy and Bonner Ridge Rd. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet identifies several remote burial sites including Claremont Cem, May Stouts Cem, and Summit Cem. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks such as Green Mtn and Little Grass Mtn, which overlook the deep incision of Granite Canyon.
