About this map

The coastal settlement of Waldport stands as the central hub of this mid-1980s landscape, situated where the Alsea River meets the expansive Alsea Bay. The geography is defined by complex tidal waters, including Lint Slough and McKinney Slough, which frame the town's southern and eastern boundaries. This period of coastal development is reflected in the numerous public lands and waysides established along the Highway 101 corridor, such as Governor Patterson Mem State Park and Seal Rock State Wayside.

Away from the immediate shoreline, the map reveals the local infrastructure of the Siuslaw National Forest. Inland landmarks like Mt Eckman and the Eckman Quarry indicate the area's timber and resource management history. Genealogists will find value in the placement of several local burial grounds, including Fern Ridge Cem, Memorial Home Cem, and Alder Grove Cem, providing a record of community life tucked between the Pacific and the coastal mountains.
