2014 Map of Valsetz

About this map

The settlement of Valsetz sits at the heart of this coastal range landscape, marking a central point in the complex drainage network of the S Fork Siletz River. This 2014 survey captures the region along the border of Lincoln and Polk Counties, where the terrain is defined by high points like Fanno Peak and Chandler Mtn. The map traces numerous named tributaries that feed the Siletz system, including Beaver Cr and Fanno Cr, illustrating a densely forested environment where timber and water resources have long shaped the local geography. Significant topographical features such as Fanno Ridge and the Big Saddle offer a detailed view of the ridgelines and passes that connect these remote valleys. For those tracing the evolution of industrial settlements in the Oregon Coast Range, the map provides a precise look at the road network, including Valsetz Rd and Riley Peak Rd, as they navigate the ridges and stream beds of this working forest.
