About this map

Wickiup Mtn and Elk Mtn dominate the high ground of Clatsop County in this modern survey of the Oregon Coast Range. This landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems and the logging infrastructure required to navigate them. The Middle Fork North Fork Klaskanine River and the North Fork Klaskanine River carve deep valleys through the terrain, fed by numerous seasonal and perennial flows like Beneke Creek and Fallover Creek.

A network of specialized roads, including the Youngs River Mainline and Big Creek Mainline, illustrates the ongoing industrial use of these timberlands. The presence of Wickiup Lake and Middle Lake near the western ridge provides a rare break in the heavily forested slopes. This map serves as a vital tool for understanding the contemporary topography and resource-management corridors in a region historically central to the Pacific Northwest timber industry.
