About this map

Alsea Bay serves as the central focal point of this coastal survey, where the Alsea River meets the Pacific. The settlement of Waldport is positioned at the bay's southern narrows, while smaller communities like Nice and Bayview line the northern shores. The landscape transitions quickly from the shoreline to the steep elevations of the Siuslaw National Forest, marked by peaks such as Yachats Mountain.

Along the coast, a noteworthy infrastructure detail is a railroad marked as (Abandoned) that once paralleled the Tidal Road. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex around Cape Perpetua and Captain Cook Point, where Yachats Mountain Trail and Cape Ridge Trail provide passage through the dense forest. Educational and local hubs like Alder Grove School appear in the interior, situated among a network of drainages including Big Creek and Salmon Creek.
