2020 Map of Yachats

About this map

Yachats and the coastal hamlet of San Marine serve as the primary human settlements on this stretch of the Oregon coast, where the mountains of the Siuslaw National Forest meet the Pacific. The landscape is defined by the steep drainage basins of the Yachats River and Cummins Creek, which cut through high points like Blodgett Peak and Kerby Mtn. Along the shoreline, geological and local landmarks such as Devils Churn, Cooks Chasm, and Agate Point illustrate the dynamic interface of land and sea. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Carson Cem in the eastern hills and Yachats Memorial Park near the town center. The presence of the Giant Spruce and the Big Cr Log Pond reflects the area's natural history and its connection to the timber industry, while the Oregon Coast Highway remains the vital artery connecting these isolated coastal communities.
