GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The area of present-day Tillamook County was first inhabIted by three
Indian tribes Lewis and Clark mentions in the diary of their trip a tribe named Killamuch located around what is now called Tillamook Bay A tribe called Ne-ay-lem lived on the banks of the Nelialem River, and the Stage-ush tribe lived in the southern part of the area.
Today the. Stage-ush are called
Nestucca Indians after the Nestucca River which traverses their area.
The first confirmed account of a white man living in the area dates from
April 2, 1851 when Joe Champion made his first home in a hollow dead Spruce tree He was soon followed by other settlers Henry W Wilson brought the first cattle into the county and is thus credited with having laid the foündation of the dairy industry.
In the spring of 1852, Elbridge Tresk filed the first land claim for 640 acres.
Tillamook County was officially established on December 15, 1853.
Logging and sawmilling started early but it continued on only a small scale until 1911 when a railroad was built between
Portland and Tillamook.
The land cleared of trees was developed at an early date for pastures for the dairy industry.
Tillamook County is located in the northwestern part of the state on the
Oregon Coast It is bordered in the north by Clatsop County, in the east by
Washington and Yamhill Counties, and in the south by Lincoln County.
Tillamook
County has a total land area of 1,115 square miles, or 713,600 acres According to size, Tillamook County ranks twenty-sixth in the state.
The elevation of the county ranges from sea level along the 50 miles of coastline to 3,174 feet at the top of Mt. Hebo.
The major industries in the county include agriculture (predominantly dairying), lumbering in the heavily forested mountainous areas of the county, fishing, and recreation along the coastal areas of the county.

PHYSICAL ASPECTS
Tillamook County is characterized by a broad, coastal valley; a narrow, discontinuous coastal plain up to 4 miles wide; an old, dissected plateau composed of sedimentary rock; and monadmocks composed of basalt bedrock, which protect the underlying sedimentary material and form the backbone of the Oregon
Coast Range
The coastline is relatively straight and has moderately broad sandy beaches between isolated, rugged volcanic headlands.
The hills which form the eastern boundary of the coastal plain are moderately high and dissected
The elevations increase gradually and the valleys become narrower towards the eastern part of the county, where the mountains have elevations of more than
3,500 feet.
Climate
The predominantly westerly winds bring the modifying effects of the ocean to the whole county.
Summers are cool, hardly ever exceeding a high temperature of 90 F. and winters are moderate.
Temperatures as low as zero degrees have never been recorded in the county.
The average length of the frost-free season is 182 days, but freezing temperatures have been recorded for every month of the year except July and August
Relative humidity is high most of the time and rainfall is heavy.
The precipitation is concentrated in the period of
November through March.
June, July and August have a total rainfall which averages about 6 inches.

Soils
The information given in this section by the Soil Conservation Service.
in the western part of the county.
is based upon the Soil Survey prepared
This soil survey covered in detail 141,920 acres or about one-fifth of the county area, located mostly in river valleys and lowlands
The rest of the county area was surveyed by spot reconnaissance methods only
In the following, the occurring soil series are discussed individually alphabetical order.
in
Active dune land consists of wind-drifted or hummocks sand in the form of dunes, ridges,
The land occupies considerable acreage along the coast adjacent to the beach
It consists of grayish-brown, incoherent, porous sand and fine sand, dominantly feldspathic in composition feet
Dunes are generally 5 to 40 feet high with a maximum elevation of about 80
There is either no vegetation at all on dunes, or the growth is not dense enough to protect the sand and to prevent it from blowing
Consequently, the dunes are shifting Lonstantly under the influence of strong ocean winds and, in some places, are advancing slowly over the forest
Considerable acreages of shifting dunes have been stabilized through the planting of beachgrass to control the movement of sand, followed by plantings of Scotch-broom and shore pine
Active dune land is of no agricultural value but is widely used for recreational purposes.
The Astoria series consists of well-drained, fine-textured soils derived from weathered soft shale.
The Astoria soils are among the main upland soils in the Tillamook survey area, otcupying about 35 percent of the area.
They occupy very steep, rough mountain slopes in the coast range and gentle to steep valley foothills
They are closely associated with the Hembre, Winema, and Neskowin soils.

Astoria soils on the steep slopes are in forests of Douglas fir, hemlock, cedar, and red alder.
Those near the coast are in Sitka spruce.
A large acreage of gently sloping Astoria soils of the foothills has been cleared and is used for pasture and forage crops
In the Brallier series are very poorly drained, very strongly acid to extremely acid soils that consist mainly of slightly decomposed, fibrous organic material The soils have formed mainly from the remains of waterloving plants
They occupy nearly level basins a little above sea level
Most areas are on tideland, some are in depressed areas along sluggish streams near tideland
Associated with the Brallier soils are those of the Brenner,
Coquille, and Yaquina series.
The vegetation is mainly brush, willow, and spruce Some areas of the
Brallier soils have been drained and are used for pasture and forage crops
In addition, there are some areas in cranberries and blueberries
There is some commercial harvest of peat moss.
The Brenner series consists of poorly drained, strongly acid soils on bottom lands.
The soils are in the lowest part of the flood plain, or in swales, adjacent to the terraces or uplands.
The Brenner soils have formed in alluvial deposits consisting of fine-textured silt and clay.
Floods occasionally leave thin layers of fresh alluvium on the surface.
Water forms ponds in winter after heavy rains or when streams overflow The Brenner soils are associated chiefly with the Nehalem and Nestucca soils
The natural vegetation is mainly alder and hemlock, with a dense undergrowth of shrubs and water-tolerant plants Most of the acreage of the Brenner
SOIlS has been drained and is used for pasture, hay, and s1lage.
The Chitwood series consists of deep, nearly level to strongly sloping, very strongly acid, imperfectly drained soils The soils occupy depressions on slopes and on nearly level terraces and swalelike seeps on the moderately sloping foothills They formed in old alluvium derived from shale Chitwood soils are scattered throughout the valleys of the Tillamook survey area and are associated with the Knappa, Astoria, and Hebo soils.
Chitwood soils have an original vegetation of Douglas fir, hemlock,
Sitka spruce, western red cedar, and red alder Most areas are cleared, however, and are used mainly for pasture and forage crops.
The Coquille series consists of very poorly drained, very strongly acid soils on nearly level bottom lands and stream deltas along coastal tidelands.
These soils are subject to tidal overflow, and if not protected by dikes, most areas would be covered by high tides.
in undiked areas.
The overflow deposits fresh alluvium
The Coquille soils formed in deep deposits of dark-gray alluvial and tidewater sediment that washed from shale, sandstone, and coarse and fine grained igreous rocks.
Under natural conditions, the Coquille soils produce a limited amount of swampgrass pasture, the natural vegetation consisting mainly of rushes, marsh grasses, sedges, and tules.
When diked and drained, they produce excellent domestic grasses for hay, silage, or pasture.

The Gardiner series consists of deep, well drained, coarse-textured soils on bottom lands.
The soils have formed in loose, sandy alluvium.
They occur in narrow strips near the banks of the large streams and in the sharp bends of streams.
Individual areas of Gardiner soils are small, and the total acreage in the Tillamook survey area is small.
The Gardiner soils are associated with the Nehalem, Gauldy, and
Nestucca soils.
The original vegetation was trees and shrubs.
exclusively pasture and hay.
The present use is almost
The Gauldy series consists of somewhat excessively drained, shallow to moderately deep, gravelly alluvium.
The soils generally occupy narrow flood plains of the Miami and Kilchis Rivers and other very active, fast-flowing streams.
They are young soils over sand and gravel and have only a weakly developed profile.
The Gauldy soils are associated mainly with the Nehalem,
Brenner, and GardiLler soils on bottom lands and with the Knappa and Meda soils on low terraces and foothills.
The shallow Gauldy soils are associated with Riverwash.
The Gauldy soils are used chiefly for pasture and hay
Some small acreages are still in native vegetation, mainly hemlock, Douglas fir, Sitka spruce, red alder, and willow.
The Ginger series consists of deep, imperfectly drained, fine-textured soils on stream terraces in the Fairview and Idaville localities.
The Ginger soiis occupy concave positions on nearly level to gentle slopes between the higher lying Quillayute soils and the lower lying Hebo soils in depressions or swales.
Ginger soils are associated with the Meda, Quillayute, and HebO soils
The parent material is old valley fill that originated from sedimentary and igneous rock.
Most areas of the Ginger soils legumes that is harvested for hay, are under apermanent cover of grass and pasture, or silage.
Small areas are still in native vegetation, forests of spruce and hemlock
The Hebo series consists of poorly drained, fine-textured, very strongly acid soils.
The soils are mainly in nearly level or slightly depressed positions on stream terraces, and in depressions on the bottoms of small valleys.
They formed in deep, fine-textured alluvium that washed chiefly from shale
Floods and runoff from higher areas occasionally deposit fresh layers of alluvium on the surface
During the wet season, the Hebo soils are waterlogged
They occur in association with the Quillayute, Knappa, Chitwood, and Ginger soils.
Most Hebo soils are used for hay and pasture.
Yields of forage are low because drainage is poor
The native vegetation consists mainly of sedge, skunk cabbage, willow, and spruce.
The Hembre series consists of deep to moderately deep, well drained, strongly acid to very strongly acid soils.
The soils occupy positions that range from gently sloping foothills to very steep mountains in the coast range.
They have developed mainly from basic igneous rocks.
The Hembre soils are closely associated with the Neskowin soils near the communities of Oretown and Neskowin and with the
Knappa and Hebo soils.
Neskowin soils

generally occupy fern-covered slopes adjacent to the coast.
The Hembre and
Astoria soils make up nearly all the soils on uplands in the Tillamook survey area.
The Hembre soils are mainly in forests in which Douglas fir and hemlock are the most valuable species
The gently sloping Hembre soils on foothills along the valleys are used for pasture and hay.
The Knappa series consists of well-drained, moderately deep to very deep, nearly level to strongly sloping soils on terraces along the sloping foothills
The Knappa soils formed in deep old valley fill (alluvium) that originated mainly from shale and some basic igneous rock They are associated with the Astoria, Quillayute, Chitwood, and Hebo soils and are the most extensive soils on valley slopes in the Tillamook survey area
The Knappa soils are used mainly for grasses and legumes harvested for pasture, hay, and silage.
Only a few acres on the stronger slopes are not cleared.
The original vegetation was Douglas fir, hemlock, and alder.
The Made land consists of approximately 3 square miles of land leveled for a blimp base in the Second World War.
Hills were cut and low areas filled
LO form a level surface consisting of heterogeneous material that originated from marine sediment, alluvial terraces, and recent alluvium.
This is the only large tract of Made land in the Tillamook survey area.
It is now used mainly as an airport and for various industrial developments.
The Meda series consists of deep, well drained, gently sloping to moderately steep soils on alluvial fans and foot slopes The soils formed in unassorted material that sloughed and washed from residuum outcroppings of shale and occasionally mixed with igneous rocks They are associated with the .Knappa, Chitwood, Quillayute, and Ginger soils on terraces and with the Astoria and Hembre soils on uplands.
Meda soils are used chiefly for hay and pasture.
A small acreage is still in native vegetation, mostly Douglas fir, hemlock, red alder, and red cedar.
The Nehalem series consists of well drained, very deep, nearly level to gently sloping soils that occupy a large acreage of bottom lands The Nehalem soils formed under forest in brownish, medium to moderately fine textured stream alluvium that washed from igneous and sedimentary rocks.
They occur in association with the Gardiner, Nestucca, and Brenner soils.
In places, the surface is irregular because Old, partly filled stream channels and swales are in the area.
Some undulating and low areas next to fast-flowing streams are subject to damaging overflow during winter storms This overflow deposits from onehalf inch to 10 inches of silt and sand on the surface.
In these areas, the fast-flowing current may scour out pits and may leave brush and logging debris scattered over the surface.
The Nehalem soils are used for pasture and forage crops.
Most areas have been cleared.

The Neskowin series consists of well drained, dark colored, strongly acid soils that have formed in residuum that weathered from igneous rocks.
The Neskowin soils occur on moderately steep to very steep uplands near
Oretown and Neskowin, and they are associated with the Hembre and Winema soils.
The parent material resists weathering, so only shallow to moderately deep soils have formed.
The Neskowin soils forage crops are grown are used chiefly for natural brushy pasture.
Some on the gentle slopes.
The original vegetation probably was grasses and ferns.
Sitka spruce and red alder occur in isolated areas, but the trees are stunted by wind blast from the ocean.
The Nestucca series consists of deep, imperfectly drained soils on nearly level bottom lands having shallow swales and depressions.
On broad bottoms of large streams, the Nestucca soils occupy positions farthest from the streams; in the narrow bottoms, they occupy the entire bottom land
Nestucca soils formed in the recent medium- and fine-textured alluvium that washed from mixed sedimentary and igneous rocks.
The Nestucca soils are used for vegetation was a mixture of trees and pasture and forage crops.
The original shrubs and some water-tolerant plants.
The Netarts series consists of deep, excessively drained soils on the older, moderately steep to strongly sloping stabilized dunes near the coast.
Netarts soils make up most of the acreage of the older stabilized dunes.
Large acreages of these soils are near Nehalem, Manzanita, Netarts, Oceanside, and
Sand Lake, in association with the
Yaquina soils The native vegetation consists of shore pine and an understory of huckleberry, manzanita, kinnikinnik, and rhododendron
A few stands of Douglas fir and hemlock are on the older dunes.
The Netarts soils have no agricultural value but are well suited recreational uses.
A minor use has been made of the to timber, and some use has been made of the shrubs by those who pick and sell the foliage
The Quillayute series consists of moderately deep to very deep, well drained, very strongly acid soils on stream terraces in the central part of the Tillamook survey area
Most of the Quillayute soils are nearly level, but some are gently undulating and strongly sloping
The Quillayute soils are associated with the Meda, Knappa, Ginger, and Hebo soils They formed in old alluvium that originated in mixed igneous and sedimentary rocks
The natural vegetation probably was brackenfern, brush, and some grass Spruce and hemlock are in a few scattered places
The Quillayute soils are used for improved pasture and forage crops
A wide variety of coarse sand, gravel, cobblestone, and other that has recently been deposited sediment by streams make up the Riverwash unit.
This material generally occurs in narrow, broken strips on flats and bars near the banks of streams
It is also in the beds of many abandoned cutoffs and meanders.
-8-

Riverwash generally has a level to slightly undulating surface and is slightly higher than the normal level of chdnnels in which it occurs It is subject to frequent flooding, and its boundaries are constantly changing.
The depth, area, and layering of the deposits and the size of aggregates in the deposits depend on the source of the sediment, the gradient of the channel, and the size of the stream.
Shale sediment first breaks down into small stone or gravel; basalt disintegrates into large boulders and gradually into material the size of stone and gravel.
Deposits of riverwash are generally many feet thick over old marine sediment or shale bedrock
Riverwash of recent deposition is generally bare of vegetation, but older deposits covered by a thin layer of silty material have grasses, willows, and alders growing on them.
The only use of Riverwash is for channel protection and as material used in construction.
Rock land occurs on mountain ridge tops, and it consists of 40 to 70 percent of rock outcrop and very shallow soil.
The Tillamook survey area has 49 acres of this land type.
About 15 percent of the acreage is covered in stunted Douglas fir, occasional salal, and red huckleberry.
This: land type is useful only for wildlife and recreation.
Tidal flats consist of low tideland adjacent to bays and inlets along the coast.
It indudes the barren, nearly flat areas of mud, periodically covered by tidal water.
The lower tidal flats are covered by water daily; the higher parts may be covered only when tides are unusually high.
Tidal flats consist of mud and raw peat that are little altered and show very little, if any,, weathering.
Normally, tidal flat material has an excess of soluole salts, and most of the sparse native vegetation growing on it can tolerate the salts.
The surface of tidal flats generally is not hard enough to support a man, except in dry summer months and at low tide.
Tidal flats have practically no agricultural value.
The Winema series consists of dark colored, well drained, deep to moderately deep soils on the lower slopes along river valleys and on hills adjacent to the coast.
Slopes are gentle to steep, moderately long, and smooth.
They have mostly a south or southwest exposure.
The Winema soils are associated with the Astoria, Hembre, and Neskowin soils on uplands and with the Quillayute soils on terraces.
Large areas of Winema soils are near
Bay City, Trask River, Oretown, and Neskowin, The Winema soils formed from soft gray shale under ferns and grasses.
Sitka spruce occurs in sinal.1 groups scattered over the area of Winema soils.
Winema soils are used princiaplly for improved pasture and forage crops.
The steep areas are used primarily for sheep pasture.
The Yaquina series consists of nearly level, imperfectly drained soils in low, interdune positions along the coast.
The Yaquina soils formed in beach sand and in the sand of old dunes that were leveled by the actions of wind and water.
They are associated with the Netarts and Brallier soils.
The height of the water table fluctuates from 1 to 5 feet.
The vegetation consists of shore pine, rhododendron, azalea, spirea, salal, huckleberry, honeysuckle, and scattered spruce.

Yaquine soils are used chiefly for pasture and forest, but there are several very small acreages that produce good yields of cranberries and blueberries.
Yaquina soils are also used for small acreage suburban homesites.
Soil Characteristics and Land Capability
An interpretive grouping of soils into "Land Capability
Classification" has been developed by the Soil Conservation Service.
This grouping shows, in general, how suitable soils are for most kinds of farming.
Soil characteristics such as depth, texture, wetness, slope, erosion hazard, overflow hazard, permeability, structure, reaction, waterholding capacity, inherent fertility and climatic conditions as they influence the use and management of land are considered in grouping soils into eight land capability classes.
These eight classes are designated by Roman numerals.
The hazards and limitations of use of the groups increase as the class number increases.
Class
I land has few hazards or limitations, whereas Class VIII land is so limited that it is unfit for cultivation and grazing.
This land can be used only for recreation, wildlife habitat or water supply.

Agricultural Land
Agricultural land use in 1969 was limited to 7.1
percent of the total county area of 50,711 acres
Of this land, almost 34,000 acres were cropland pasture or woodland including woodland pasture.
This reflects the principal agricultural source of income, which is dairying.
According to Agriculture in Oregon Counties - Farm Sales and General Characteristics by Robert 0
Coppedge of Oregon State University Extension Service, croplan1 is in short supply in Tillamook County
The development of additional croplanc. will require high-cost drainage, diking, or land clearing and in some cases all three.

Forest Land
Tillamook County is 93 percent forest land.
Forests are the major of income, even though a large part of them has been damaged by repeated fires.
Industries dependent on timber as raw material employ 82 percent of all workers engaged in manufacturing.
More than 99 percent of the county's forest source land--
670,000 acres--is classed as commercial forest
The remaining 1 percent is productive but is in state parks and federal lighthouse reserves.
The Douglas fir type makes up 34 percent of forest land, the hemlock-
Sitka spruce type, 28 percent; hardwoods, 15 percent; other softwoods,
1 percent; and the area not stocked with forest trees, 22 percent.
Fire and logging have reduced the area of sawtimber to 276,000 acres.
Of this area,
183,000 acres is in large sawtimber and the rest is in small sawtimber.
The area in large, old-growth Douglas fir, which once covered most of the county, has been reduced to 9,000 acres.
Pole timber occupies 68,000 acres; stands of seedlings and saplings occupy 176,000 acres.
Trees in these sizes are mainly in the area burned by the Tillamook fires.
The acreage not stocked with forest trees is almost all inside the burned area.
The Tillamook fires of 1933, 1939, and 1945 killed 13 billion board feet of old-growth timber.
Since 1933, the salvage of fire-killed timber has been more important than the harvesting of live timber.
was harvested
In 1952, 447 million board feet of dead timber
During the period 1953-
1955, owners salvaged an average of 283 million board feet of timber per year, or about 68 percent of the county's total saw-log production in the same period.
Since the l930's, the supply of sawtimber in the Columbia River area of northwestern Oregon and southwestern Washington has gradually decreased
This has created a market for timber killed by the Tillainook fires
During this period, the merchantability standards for logs have gradually been lowered
This has allowed owners to log burned-over areas three to four times for salvageable material
Salvage operations continue on a large scale to the present time.
The Tillamook fires and subsequent publicity about them have caused the public to demand rehabilitation of the burned area and the prevention of similar holocausts in the future
Rehabilitation was started in 1949 with money provided by a bond issue authorized by public vote in 1948
This program consists of felling snags, reforesting through aerial seeding and through hand planting of areas suited to each method, and developing a system of fire protection
Fire protection consisted of building 90 miles of firebreaks and eleven lookout stations
Most of the nonstocked areas are either still being logged or have a potential logging value and will be turned over to the State when logging is completed
Land is not reforested until logging has been completed.
At the present time, the Tillamook burn area has been completely refores ted.

Water
Of the total area of Tillamook County (1,115 square miles), 1,091 square miles or 97.8 percent are located within the North Coast Basin.
Basin boundaries consist of the Pacific Ocean on the west, the Columbia the Coast Range Divide
Salmon River on the south
River on the north, on the east, and the divide between Neskowin Creek and
The basin has been divided into three sub-basins, of which two, the Tillamook and Nehalem sub-basins, are at least partly contained within Tillamook County sub-basin, the Columbia sub-Basin,
There is also a very small part of the third in the northwestern tip of the county
The Tillamook sub-basin includes all of the North Coast Basin south of the Nehalem River watershed
It is the largest of the sub-basins with a total area of 959 square miles, of which 90 percent are located within Tillamook County.
There are seven major stream systems in the Tillamook sub-basin.
Each enters the Pacific Ocean by way of a coastal bay; five drain into Tillamook
Bay, and two into Nestucca Bay
Those entering Tillamook Bay are the Miami,
Kilchis, Wilson, Trask and Tillamook Rivers, while the Nestucca and Little
Nestucca Rivers enter Nestucca Bay.
There are also over 20 smaller named stream systems which empty directly into the ocean The total length of the coast line in this sub-basin is about 45 miles
There are approximately
1,420 miles of streams in the sub-basin, of which 1,160 miles are perennial in nature.

Peak flows occur during December, January, and February, reflecting heavy rainfall during those months following saturation of the ground by the late fall rains.
Snowfall in the higher areas is not sufficient to materially affect spring runoff and ground water storage is slight, with the result that most of the streams reach very low flows during July,
August, and September.
The Nehalem sub-basin includes the entire drainage of the Nehalém River and Bay
It is the smallest of the three sub-basins, containing 845 square miles, with 26 percent in Tillamook County
There are over 1,350 miles of streams in this sub-basin of which 930 or slightly more than two-thirds are perennial in nature.
Snowf all is not sufficient to have a material effect on spring and summer runoff
Lack of regulation of the streams is reflected in high December,
January, and February runoff and very low flow throughout the summer months.
Less than 1 percent of Tillamook County is located in the Columbia subbasin
There are two small rivers, the Short Sand Creek and Necarney Creek, which both drain directly into the ocean Since there is not data available specifically for this small area, a discussion of the Columbia sub-basin is not included in this report.

1/ Annual yield of surface water is the net yield, or quantity of water, leaving a drainage area during the hydrologic, or water year, whch extends from October 1 of one year to September 30 of the following year.
Net yield is the precipitation on the area minus evaporation, transpiration, and net underground percolation.
Average or mean annual yield actually reflects a composite of constantly changing conditons due to withdrawals from stream flow and changes in watershed characteristics.
2/ Acre-feet equals the quantity of water (43,650 cu. ft.) that covers one acre to a depth of one foot

There are about 250 water rights for 75 cfs
6,500 acres
1959 about 3,000 acres are irrigated from for irrigation of more than
In addition, field estimates by the U S D A indicate that in tidal estuaries and drainage ditches, most of which do not hold water rights.
According to census data, the total acreage of irrigated land in 1969 was only 55 percent of the acreage in 1959.
Irrigated land in 1969 totaled 3,673 acres, whereas in 1959 it totaled 6,575 acres.
The majority of Tillamook County's power rights (total of 17 cfs) are located on the Nestucca River and its tributaries The largest right is for
6 cfs on Bible Creek
Others are on Boulder Creek, with 3 5 cfs and tributaries of Three Rivers, with 4 cfs
The remainder are small rights on other tributaries.
Industrial water rights in Tillamook County total 25 cfs.
There are, however, many industries which obtain their water from municipal water supplies
Most of the existing water rights are for lumber companies and related industries.
Mining activities are confined to a clay deposit southeast of Tillamook and sand and gravel operations along the major streams
However, water rights for these operations are negligible, totaling less than 0.1 cfs.
There are no water rights for wildlife within the basin Wildlife needs vary according to species and are met from the streams, lakes, bays, sloughs, and marshlands.
Most of the water rights for figh life are given in connection with fish hatcheries
There are three hatcheries, one on Foley Creek with 22 0 cf a, one on Cedar Creek with a 13 cfs right, and one on Gold Creek with 3.9 cfs.

Water-based Recreation
Recreation is an important part of the economy of Tillamook County. As with all the coastal counties, recreation areas are concentrated along the
Pacific Ocean with a few located along rivers and other water systems in the county.
There are only 6 cfs of water rights allocated for recreation in Tillamook
County and 5 of them are for Netarts Bay.
However, the value of water for recreation cannot be measured by the water rights.
There are 12 public recreation areas located on the ocean in the county and 14 other recreation areas on rivers and streams.
For additional information on recreation, see the
Outdoor Recreation section under the
Economy division in this publication.
Minerals
Parts of the county have not been examined geologically in sufficient detail to determine whether or not mineral resources are available.
At the present time, mineral production is confined to sand and gravel and some clay.
Deposits of sand and gravel and rocks suitable for jetty construction are found at many places in the county, but the locations are not always easily accessible.
There is one deposit of clay southeast of Tillamook, which presently supports an operation producing drain tile.
Oil and gas exploration has been carried on in the last few years
In
1961, there were two wells drilled with depths of 1,500 and 2,500 feet, respectively.
No oil and very little gas has been found.
Wildlife
Tillamook County has a great diversity of habitat at elevations ranging from sea level to 3,000 feet in the Coast
Range.
Big game animals, furbearing animals, rodents, fish, waterfowl, and upland birds are present in considerable variety and abundance.
There are three state fish hatcheries in the county, two for salmon and one for trout.
The main fish are the anadromous salmon and trout.
The silver and Chinook salmons are prime game fish and are taken by fishermen by trolling herrings in bays, in tidewater by trolling spinners, during the summer.
and from banks by angling with lures.
The large sea-run steelhead trout is the goal of many winter anglers along large streams.
The cutthroat trout, also ocean going, is taken
Planted black bass give good angling in two lakes.
The common salt-water fish caught in large numbers are flounder, surf perch, kelp greenling, sculpin, rockfish and ling cod.
TillamookCounty is included in three big game management units.
The
Nestucca unit consists of the coast line and central valleys between Nehalem
Bay and Otis in Lincoln County.
The Trask unit includes the southeastern part of the county and extends as far east as McMinnville and Forest Grove.
The Wilson unit is made up of the northeastern section of the county, extending east to Glenwood and north about 10 miles into
Clatsop County.

Health and Vital Statistics
In 1969 the county health budget for Tillamook County was $59,576.
This represents $3.34 per person in the county and is $2.36 less than the state average for county health budgets.
There are slightly fewer medical personnel in the county per person than the state average.
However, the medical facilities in the county are more than adequate for county needs except for long-term care facilities, according to the State Board of Health.
This r.eed could easily be met by providing skilled nursing care in the longterm care facility located at Rockaway, thus bringing it up to federal standards for long-term care facilities.

THE COUNTY'S ECONOMY
The county's economy Is centered around agriculture and the forestry industry.
Agriculture Is limited almost exclusively to dairying and raising hay for the dairy farms.
The county's farms have built a national reputation for fine cheese and, at the present time, cheese from the area is shipped all over the United States.
The forest industry is also important to the county.
Besides logging the forest land which makes up 90 percent of the county area, there are sawmills, planing mills, shake and shingle mills, and plywood mills operating in the county.
Actual number of persons employed in agriculture decreased over the 1960 to 1970 period, reflecting a national trend.
Employment in logging increased while employment in food manufacturing and other types of manufacturing remained about the same.
The following sections of this publication give more detailed statistics on agriculture, logging, manufacturing, mining, recreation and business in the county.
Agriculture
Agriculture in Tillamook County is almost totally dairy-based agriculture.
Most of the farms are classified as dairy farms, with only a few farms being other livestock farms
About one-third of the farms are unclassified as to type.

Agriculture contributes to the economy of Tillainook County in two ways; it provides income not only directly to the farmers, but also to the workers employed in the various supporting industries.
The total value of all crops and livestock products sold in 1970 was estimated at about
$11.17 million.
The value of all crops sold is about 2.8 percent of the all crops and livestock products sold and livestock and total value of livestock products make up 97.2 percent of the total.
The most important group is dairy products, producing 80 0 percent of the total value
The next most important group is cattle and calves, a far distant second at 13 0 percent of the total value sold.
Recreation and forest products are also means of income for farmers
Tillamook County
In 1964, the value of forest in products from farms exceeded
$100,000
Recreation income from hunting, fishing, and other recreational services was $773 for eight farms.

Outdoor Recreation
The most popular recreational attractions in the county are its beaches and scenic coastline, which are readily accessible along U S Highway 101
Year-round fishing attracts many sportsmen to the hundreds of miles of streams and to the bays, lakes, sea, and surf.
The county maintains boat landings and other facilities that make most water areas accessible to the public.
In addition to fishermen, there are many big-game hunters attracted to the county by the large herds of deer and elk.
There is also a fish hatchery operated by the State Fisheries Commission located eight miles east of
Tillainook on Highway 101.
