2023 Map of Vinemaple

About this map

The Nehalem Valley and its winding Nehalem River serve as the geographical heart of this Clatsop County landscape. Small rural hubs like Jewell and Vinemaple sit amidst a complex network of waterways, including Fishhawk Creek and Cow Creek. The terrain is defined by prominent high points and divides, such as Tidewater Summit and Denver Point, while the ridges of Boiler Ridge and Red Bluff Ridge separate the various drainage basins. Local history and genealogy are anchored at the Jewell Cem near the intersection of the Beneke Creek Rd and the Fishhawk Falls Hwy 103. Industrial and transit corridors like the Fish Hawk Mainline reflect the region's connection to timber and local transport, while Fishhawk Falls remains a notable landmark in the interior.
