About this map

The Yachats River meets the ocean along this stretch of the central Oregon coast, where the community of Yachats serves as the gateway to the massive Siuslaw National Forest. The landscape is defined by the immediate rise from the shoreline into timbered ridges like Dicks Ridge and Cape Ridge. This 1980s data records the coastal developments of San Marine and Camp Angell alongside numerous state-managed lands including Smelt Sands State Wayside and Neptune State Park.

Beyond the recreational corridor of Highway 101, the map details the rugged interior drainage systems of Big Creek and Salmon Creek. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Yachats Cem and Carson Cem, as well as industrial and agricultural landmarks like the Quarry and Reynolds Placer. The presence of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge Wilderness offshore underscores the conservation focus of the era.
