2020 Map of Tiernan

About this map

The Siuslaw River winds through the southern portion of this region, creating a distinct riparian corridor that includes Tiernan and the riverside settlement of Point Terrace. This coastal mountain landscape is defined by the high ridges of the Siuslaw National Forest, where features like Misery Ridge, David Ridge, and Neely Mtn overlook deep drainages. To the north, the N Fork Siuslaw River supports the community of Minerva, while the eastern border is marked by Brickerville and the confluence of McLeod Creek. The map documents a complex network of named water bodies, from Sweet Creek and Duncan Inlet in the south to the northern reaches of Drew Creek. This area illustrates the relationship between the river-bottom settlements and the timbered heights of the Oregon Coast Range, connected by the primary transit route of State Route 126.
