2011 Map of Vinemaple

About this map

Jewell and the Nehalem Valley define this landscape in the Oregon Coast Range, where the winding Nehalem River meets a network of timber-access roads and creek drainages. The map details the transition from the river bottom near Vinemaple up into the high ridges, including Boiler Ridge and Red Bluff Ridge. This era shows a landscape heavily shaped by the logging industry, evidenced by the extensive network of forest routes like the Fish Hawk Mainline and Saraj Arvie Ridge Rd that crisscross the timberlands between Fishhawk Creek and Beneke Creek. Local history is anchored by landmarks such as the Jewell Cemetery and the Vinemaple Bridge, while the confluence of several large creeks near Tideport and Grand Rapids illustrates the drainage patterns essential to the region's geography. Natural features like Fishhawk Falls and the high point at Tidewater Summit provide distinct navigational markers among the steep terrain.
