1984 Map of Yachats

About this map

The Oregon coast at Yachats is defined by a dramatic transition from the Pacific Ocean to the dense, high ridges of the Siuslaw National Forest. Surveyed in the early 1980s, this map captures the settlement patterns along Highway 101, where residential areas like San Marine and recreational sites like Tillicum Beach and Camp Angell sit just feet from the surf. The interior is a complex network of timbered ridges and creek drainages, including the Yachats River and its numerous tributaries such as North Fork Yachats River and Beamer Creek. Significant geological and topographical features mark the shoreline south of the town center, most notably the high vantage of Cape Perpetua and the wave-sculpted formations at Devils Churn and Cooks Chasm. Local history is anchored by the Carson Cem and named landmarks like Blodgett Peak, reflecting the area's logging and coastal heritage.
