2017 Map of Timber

About this map

The settlement of Timber serves as a focal point for this 2017 survey of the northern Coast Range, where the headwaters of the Nehalem River and Gales Creek diverge. The map documents a heavily dissected landscape defined by its network of forest drainages, including Lousignont Creek and Beaver Creek. While the community of Glenwood occupies the southeastern corner, much of the area is defined by its topographic relief and recreational connectivity. Long-established routes like the Step Creek Trail and Gales Creek Trail wind through the hills, providing access to landmarks such as Round Top. The presence of the Sunset Tunnel and the managed waters of the Bauer Reservoir indicate the ongoing human engineering required to navigate and utilize this timber-rich terrain. Family and place names are preserved through features like Hudleson Spring and several creek-named forest roads, offering a detailed view of the region's modern layout.
