1984 Map of Tidewater

About this map

The Alsea River carves a deep, winding path through the Siuslaw National Forest in this mid-1980s coastal range survey. The landscape is defined by the tight meanders of the river and a series of small, riverside communities including Tidewater, Little Albany, and Westwood Village. The proximity of these settlements to the water, often connected by features like a Boat Ramp or a Foot Bridge, underscores a local economy and lifestyle traditionally tied to the river's flow and the surrounding timberlands.
