Continua a leggerePublished in 1986 using survey data from 1985, the U.S. Geological Survey’s “Nestucca Bay” presents a precise mid-1980s portrait of one of the Oregon Coast’s most evocative landscapes. Categorized as a provisional map, it belongs to a working tradition of cartography in which accuracy, utility, and timely publication were paramount. The sheet centers on Pacific City and the coastal basin around Nestucca Bay, where river, ocean, forest, dunes, and settlement meet in a compact but remarkably varied terrain. As with the best USGS topographic work, the map is both practical and quietly beautiful: contour lines articulate the inland rises, blue waterways trace the drainage system, and road and trail symbols reveal the human routes threaded through a dynamic coastal environment.
Pacific City, the principal populated place on the map, appears in its dramatic geographical setting between the Pacific shoreline, the Nestucca River, and the broad tidal waters of Nestucca Bay. Long valued for its beach access and coastal scenery, the town serves as a gateway to Cape Kiwanda, nearby parks, natural reserves, and the recreational world of the north-central Oregon Coast. The map captures the community at a moment when coastal tourism, fishing, small-scale development, and conservation interests were all shaping the region. Roads, local landmarks, and shoreline access points show how Pacific City functioned not only as a settlement, but as an interface between daily life and the powerful attractions of surf, sand, river, and headland.
The topographic language of the map is especially well suited to this coast, where subtle elevation shifts can be as meaningful as dramatic cliffs. Contour lines describe the rolling inland terrain and the approaches toward forested slopes, while the ocean edge, estuarine waters, and river channels are distinguished with the clarity for which USGS mapping is renowned. Nestucca River and nearby waterways organize the landscape, feeding the bay before meeting the Pacific. Sand Lake, beaches, and coastal lowlands add further variety, contrasting with the more rugged interior. The result is a richly legible view of coastal Oregon’s natural systems: dunes, wetlands, river corridors, forest margins, and uplands all mapped in relation to one another.
Beyond Pacific City and Nestucca Bay, the map situates a wider coastal world that includes Cape Kiwanda, Sand Lake, Neskowin, the Oregon Coast, and forested hinterlands associated with Tillamook State Forest. Logging roads and trail systems testify to the region’s working landscape, where timber access, recreation, and rural infrastructure intersect. The presence of parks, beaches, recreational sites, and wildlife refuge areas underscores the ecological and scenic value of the coast. Such details make the map more than a navigational document; it is a record of competing and complementary land uses, showing how preservation, outdoor leisure, forestry, and settlement coexisted along a coastline defined by both natural grandeur and practical resource use.
As a historical artifact of the mid-1980s, “Nestucca Bay” preserves a snapshot of infrastructure, land use, and geography at a particular moment in Oregon’s coastal development. USGS maps of this era were indispensable to planners, surveyors, scientists, hikers, foresters, and local governments, and their disciplined visual system reflects a national commitment to mapping the country in dependable detail. Here, that system records the beaches of the Pacific, the Nestucca and Siletz river systems, Blinded River, local roads, trail networks, and the changing pattern of human access across a sensitive coastal landscape. For collectors, it offers the appeal of both technical cartography and place-based history: a measured, elegant depiction of a beloved Oregon shore.

Looking for a particular place? Review the detailed images to confirm that the town, landmark or feature you have in mind appears on the map. If you are unsure, ask our workshop to check before you order.
Detailed maps are especially rewarding at larger sizes, where names, boundaries and decorative features have more room to be appreciated. Use the close-up preview and size guide to choose the right scale for your wall.
This map looks amazing at sizes all the way up to 50in (125cm). If you are looking for a larger map, please get in touch.
The model in the listing images is holding the 16x20in (40x50cm) version of this map.
Where personalisation is available, you can add a short title or dedication, mark one meaningful place, or request one considered visual detail. See personalised map examples.
Every piece is printed to museum-grade archival standards using fade-resistant pigment inks on acid-free matte paper. Choose an unframed map print, framed map or canvas using the finish options above. Framed maps use crystal-clear optical acrylic and arrive ready to hang.
With its rich detail and strong sense of place, this map makes a considered gift for a new home, anniversary, retirement or anyone with a personal connection to the area shown. Still deciding? Explore our collection of rare old and vintage maps to discover another place, period or style.
This map is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The map is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present a map without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas maps and explore the differences between my different finishes.
For something truly unique, this map is also available in "Unique 3D", our trademarked process that dramatically transforms the map so that it has a wonderful sense of depth. We combine the original map with detailed topography and elevation data, so that mountains and the terrain really "pop". For more info and examples of 3D maps, check my Unique 3D page.

Personalised and customised pieces usually take an extra 1–2 working days, because we prepare your design and send it to you for approval before printing.
Very large framed orders can take a little longer, as they need extra care in production and delivery.
Every order is carefully packaged: unframed prints are sent in a strong protective tube, while framed pieces are securely packed with protective materials around the frame.
If you need your order by a particular date, please contact us before ordering. We’ll check the best production route and delivery option for your location.

Our standard frame is a gallery-style black ash hardwood frame, with a simple, modern look. It is approximately 20mm (0.8in) wide. You can also view some lovely customer photos of framed maps and art.
We use super-clear acrylic glazing, also known as Perspex or Acrylite, instead of traditional glass. It is lighter, safer, and has lower reflectivity, giving the artwork a clearer, cleaner appearance.
Six standard frame colours are available at no extra cost: black, dark brown, dark grey, oak, white, and antique gold. Custom framing and mounting/matting is also available for customers looking for something more specific.
Most maps, art prints, and illustrations are also available as a framed canvas. We use matte cotton canvas, stretch it over a sustainably sourced wooden box frame, and then float the piece within a wooden outer frame. The finished result is beautifully presented, with no glazing between you and the artwork.
All frames are supplied ready to hang, with either string or brackets fitted to the back. Very large frames will include heavy-duty hanging plates and/or a mounting baton. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
We can also supply old maps and artwork on canvas, foam board, cotton rag, and other materials.
If you would prefer to frame your map or artwork yourself, please read our size guide before ordering.
Every Unique Maps piece begins with an authentic cartographic source or an original design from our London studio.
For our historic maps, we source rare originals from libraries, archives, auction houses and private collections around the world. We carefully restore each map for print—repairing age-related damage, balancing colour and improving clarity while preserving its original detail, texture and character.
Once restored, the map is prepared for your chosen size and finish. Your piece is then printed and, where selected, framed close to its delivery destination.
Our map prints use acid-free 200gsm archival matte paper and fade-resistant pigment inks, creating a rich, non-glossy finish designed to last. Framed maps use crystal-clear optical acrylic and arrive ready to hang.
Canvas, cotton-rag and other specialist presentations are also available. Learn more about our materials and finishes.
Personalising your map
You can add a short title or dedication, mark one meaningful place, or request one considered visual detail. For personalised designs, we send a proof before printing and you can request changes before approval.
For more complex bespoke commissions, contact our design team.
Original or Aged
Choose Original for true-to-source colour, or Aged for a warmer, richer antique character created with our specialist ageing process. See examples of our Aged maps.
