2023 Map of Valsetz

About this map

The Siletz River and its numerous tributaries dominate this drainage-rich section of the Oregon Coast Range, where the Lincoln Co / Polk Co line divides a landscape of high ridges and deep creek beds. Notable summits like Diamond Peak and Chandler Mtn define the verticality of the terrain, while landmarks such as Big Saddle and Buckskin Flat provide orientation in the dense network of canyons. The map tracks the headwaters of several critical systems, including the North Fork Mill Creek and South Fork Siletz River. Unlike more developed regions, the road network here is primarily comprised of logging and access routes like Rock Creek Rd and Valsetz Rd, which navigate the steep gaps at Chandler Pass and along Fanno Ridge.
