1949 Map of Tillamook Head

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Tillamook Head dominates the rugged Pacific coastline in this 1949 survey, marking the dramatic topography between the growing resort towns of Seaside and Cannon Beach. The landscape reveals a transition from coastal recreation to inland forest management, with an Old Railroad Grade winding through the valley near Circle Creek, signaling the area's timber history. Along the shore, Ecola State Park preserves the headlands, including Indian Beach and Bald Point, while the southern reaches show the residential developments of Tolovana Park near the iconic Haystack Rock. Inland, the drainage systems of the Necanicum River and Neawanna Creek shape the lowlands, supporting infrastructure like the Central Sch and a local Cem. The 1973 purple revisions highlight the expansion of the Oregon Coast Highway and the evolving footprint of Cannon Beach Junction.
