1955 Map of Tillamook

Along the Pacific shore, the Cape Meares Lighthouse stands near the rocky outcrops of Three Arch Rocks, while the communities of Oceanside and Netarts line the edge of Netarts Bay. Inland, the agricultural and civic life of the valley is documented through features like the Hathaway Mead Cem, East School, and the Southern Pacific railroad line. The map captures a complex network of coastal drainages including Hoquarten Slough and the Tillamook River, which defined the local economy and transport before the expansion of the modern highway system.
