About this map

The Alsea River defines the southern landscape of this coastal Oregon region, where the tidal influence meets the foothills of the Siuslaw National Forest. The settlement of Tidewater serves as a local hub, situated near the Tidewater Cem and the distinctive bend of the river at Bain Slough. To the west, Little Albany and Barclay Meadows mark the narrow habitable corridors between the steep ridgelines of the Coast Range.

Industrial and recreational access is highlighted by the Harris Ranch and the Horse Creek Trail N, which navigate a terrain carved by numerous drainages including Drift Creek and Canal Cr. The map captures a moment in the 21st century where timber management and small riverine communities coexist. High points like Butler Peak provide a topographical framework for the dense network of creeks, such as Southworth Cr and Risley Cr, that feed the primary river system.
