About this map

Coastal dunes and an intricate network of freshwater lakes define this 1984 provisional survey of the Oregon shoreline. The landscape is dominated by the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area and the Siuslaw National Forest, where massive sand formations separate the Pacific Ocean from inland waters. The Oregon Coast Highway serves as the primary corridor, skirting the edges of Siltcoos Lake and the expansive Tahkenitch Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Kroll (Site) near the banks of Tahkenitch Creek, representing a localized point of historical interest along the rail and road route. The map details several smaller, secluded water bodies such as Threemile Lake, Elbow Lake, and Butterfly Lake. Notable landforms including Clay Point, Burnt Point, and Home Point provide specific geographic markers within the complex shoreline of the larger lakes.
