2011 Map of Valsetz

About this map

South Fork Siletz River and its numerous tributaries define this corner of the Oregon Coast Range, carved by a dense network of drainages including Whiskey Creek, Drift Creek, and Fanno Creek. The terrain is characterized by prominent high points such as Chandler Mountain, Fanno Peak, and the distinctive Big Saddle. The presence of Western Camp and Camp Russell suggests a landscape historically shaped by timber operations or seasonal forestry work, a common pattern in this part of Polk County. Notable topographical landmarks like Buckskin Flat and Valsetz Falls provide specific points of interest for those tracing the history of local land use. The map also reveals a complex of access roads, including Valsetz Rd and Rock Creek Rd, which navigate the steep elevations between the Siletz River headwaters and the drainage of North Fork Mill Creek.
