About this map

The Peninsula creates a sharp oxbow in the Trask River, serving as a central geographical landmark in this section of the Oregon Coast Range. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Wilson River and Trask River systems, featuring numerous deep-water locations such as The Blue Hole and The Dam Hole. The terrain is characterized by prominent elevations including Blue Ridge, Ginger Peak, and Gold Peak, which rise above a network of logging and access roads that follow the winding creek beds.

Transportation history is evident through routes like the Wilson River Toll Rd and Mills Bridge Rd, which connect the remote drainage basins. Settlements and structural landmarks are sparse, centered primarily around crossings like Mills Bridge. The presence of numerous named tributaries, including Fawcett Cr and Killam Cr, reflects the intricate drainage patterns essential to the region's timber and water resources.
