2011 Map of Timber

About this map

Timber and Glenwood anchor this 2011 survey of northwestern Washington County, where the steep terrain of the Northern Oregon Coast Range dictates the flow of commerce and water. The map documents the presence of both the Timber Post Office and the Glenwood Post Office, essential nodes for these small rural communities. The landscape is defined by the winding Nehalem River in the north and the upper reaches of Gales Creek to the south, with significant landmarks such as Sunset Tunnel and Walcott Tunnel marking the passage of transportation routes through the ridges. The area's focus on youth and community is noted at the Gales Creek Childrens Camp, while the surrounding forest is crisscrossed by an extensive network of timber-related roads like NW Timber Rd and NW Cochran Rd, reflecting the region's enduring connection to the logging industry and its rugged geography near Round Top.
