  • This Windswept Oregon Retreat Offers Adventure at the Edge of the World
    TRAVEL This Windswept Oregon Retreat Offers Adventure at the Edge of the World by Michaela Trimble 02/26/2019 Oregon locals have long known Pacific City as the state’s under-the-radar basecamp for outdoor pursuits. In the Pacific Northwest and beyond, this once sleepy beach town is receiving quite the buzz, thanks to the recent opening of Headlands Coastal Lodge & Spa, a 33-room lodge with 18 spacious oceanfront cottages. Each features cast-iron soaking tubs, custom-made racks for surfboards and bikes, and private outdoor balconies and patios with unobstructed views of one of the region’s most celebrated natural formations: the 327-foot-tall Haystack Rock. This oasis in Tillamook County is tucked between a trifecta of natural sites—Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area, Bob Straub State Park, and Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge. To get to Headlands Lodge, venture two hours west of Portland or 90 minutes south of the bustling resort town of Cannon Beach, right along the edge of Three Capes Scenic Drive. Headlands Lodge’s restaurant, Meridian When you’re not dining on fresh oysters sourced from nearby Netarts Bay at the outpost’s signature restaurant, Meridian, or reveling in relaxation during an intensive deep-tissue massage and replenishing seaweed wrap at the lodge’s own spa, Tidepools, it’s easy to gain swift access to the rugged natural beauty of Oregon’s coast—high capes, sandy spits, and protected bays included. When you enlist one of Headlands on-staff adventure concierges to craft the perfect outdoor experiences for you, exclusive excursions are in reach, from tucked-away beach bonfires to scenic hikes.

Preserve management, agency agreements, and manage­ ment planning are therefore not a function of this document. Because of the outstanding assemblage of wildflowers, many of which are rare, Saddle r·1ountain has long been a mecca for· botanists. It was from Oregon's botanists that the Committee initially received its first documentation of the natural area values of Saddle Mountain.

  • Drainage Basin Morphology in the Central Coast Range of Oregon
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF WENDY ADAMS NIEM for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in GEOGRAPHY presented on July 21, 1976 Title: DRAINAGE BASIN MORPHOLOGY IN THE CENTRAL COAST RANGE OF OREGON Abstract approved: Redacted for privacy Dr. James F. Lahey / The four major streams of the central Coast Range of Oregon are: the westward-flowing Siletz and Yaquina Rivers and the eastward-flowing Luckiamute and Marys Rivers. These fifth- and sixth-order streams conform to the laws of drain- age composition of R. E. Horton. The drainage densities and texture ratios calculated for these streams indicate coarse to medium texture compa- rable to basins in the Carboniferous sandstones of the Appalachian Plateau in Pennsylvania. Little variation in the values of these parameters occurs between basins on igneous rook and basins on sedimentary rock. The length of overland flow ranges from approximately i mile to i mile. Two thousand eight hundred twenty-five to 6,140 square feet are necessary to support one foot of channel in the central Coast Range. Maximum elevation in the area is 4,097 feet at Marys Peak which is the highest point in the Oregon Coast Range. The average elevation of summits in the thesis area is ap- proximately 1500 feet. The calculated relief ratios for the Siletz, Yaquina, Marys, and Luckiamute Rivers are compara- ble to relief ratios of streams on the Gulf and Atlantic coastal plains and on the Appalachian Piedmont. Coast Range streams respond quickly to increased rain- fall, and runoff is rapid. The Siletz has the largest an- nual discharge and the highest sustained discharge during the dry summer months.

    Overview of the Environment of Native Inhabitants of Southwestern Oregon, Late Prehistoric Era Research and Writing by Reg Pullen Pullen Consulting RR 2 Box 220 Bandon,OR 97411 TELEPHONE: (503) 347-9542 Report Prepared for USDA Forest Service Rogue River National Forest, Medford, Oregon Siskiyou National Forest, Grants Pass, Oregon DOI Bureau of Land Management Medford District Office, Medford, Oregon 1996 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project was directed by Janet Joyer of the United States Forest Service (Grants Pass), and Kate Winthrop of the Bureau of Land Management (Medford). Both provided great assistance in reviewing drafts of the manuscript, as did Jeff LeLande of the United States Forest Service (Medford). Individuals from three southwest Oregon Native American tribes participated in the collection of ethnographic and historic data contained in the report and appendix. Robert Kentta of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians reviewed ethnographic material from the John Harrington collection. Don Whereat of the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians provided extensive help with records from the National Archives, Bancroft Library, and the Melville Jacobs collection. Troy Anderson of the Coquille Tribe helped to review materials relating to his tribe found in the Melville Jacobs collection. The staff of the Bancroft Library at the University of California at Berkeley helped to track down several early journals and diaries relating to the historic exploration of southwest Oregon. Gary Lundell of the University of Washington helped to locate pertinent materials in the Melville Jacobs collection. The staff at the Coos Bay Public Library assisted in accessing sources in their Oregon collection and through interlibrary loan.

Although previous workers have suggested that components of Siletzia were formed Geochemistry in tectonic settings including back arc basins, island arcs and ocean islands, more recent work has presented Geochemical modelling evidence for parts of Siletzia to have formed in response to partial melting of a mantle plume. In this paper, we Mantle plumes integrate geochemical and geochronological data to investigate the petrogenetic evolution of the province. Oceanic plateau Large igneous provinces The major element geochemistry of the Siletzia lava flows is used to determine the compositions of the primary magmas of the province, as well as the conditions of mantle melting. These primary magmas are compositionally similar to modern Ocean Island and Mid-Ocean Ridge lavas. Geochemical modelling of these magmas indicates they predominantly evolved through fractional crystallisation of olivine, pyroxenes, plagioclase, spinel and ap- atite in shallow magma chambers, and experienced limited interaction with crustal components.
