2017 Map of The Peninsula

About this map

The Peninsula rises between the winding forks of the Trask River, while the Wilson River cuts through the northern reaches of this coastal mountain landscape. This area is defined by its dramatic relief and a network of logging and access roads like Trask River Rd and Smith Creek Rd that navigate the steep drainages. Local landmarks such as The Blue Hole and The Dam Hole suggest specific points of interest along the water, while the small settlement at Mills Bridge provides a rare point of human habitation in a region dominated by high points like Ginger Peak and Edwards Butte. The drainage patterns of named creeks, including Negro Jack Cr and Killam Cr, illustrate the complex topography of the Oregon Coast Range, where ridges like Blue Ridge and Tillison Ridge separate deep river valleys. This modern survey provides a clear view of the elevation and hydrology that have long dictated movement and industry in Tillamook County.
