1980 Map of Waldport

About this map

Alsea Bay and the mouth of the Alsea River define the northern coastline of this 1980 region, where the town of Waldport serves as a primary coastal hub. The landscape is characterized by a series of dramatic headlands and points, including Yaquina John Point, Cape Perpetua, and Heceta Head, which is notably marked by the US Coast Guard Res Lighthouse. Moving inland, the dense terrain of the Siuslaw National Forest is segmented by numerous ridges such as Dicks Ridge and Blue Ridge, with peaks like Kerby Mtn and Fairview Mtn overlooking the drainage basins of Beaver Creek, Yachats River, and Big Creek.
