About this map

Wickiup Mountain and Wickiup Ridge dominate the center of this Clatsop County landscape, forming a high divide that separates several significant drainage systems. The topography is defined by the headwaters of the North Fork Klaskanine River, including its Middle Fork, which wind through the southwestern portion of the quadrangle. High-altitude water bodies such as Wickiup Lake and Middle Lake are tucked into the drainages of Bear Creek and Waterworks Creek, suggesting the area's importance for local water management and natural storage.

Transportation throughout this timbered highland relies on a network of named logging and access roads, including Wickiup Spring Rd and Barrel Rd. The northern and eastern boundaries are marked by sharp peaks like Knob Point and the descending flows of Big Creek and Mud Creek. This area provides a look at the complex hydrography of the Oregon Coast Range, where numerous tributaries like Beneke Creek and Walker Creek converge to form the river systems of the lower Columbia basin.
