Abstract
Oregon’s 500 km long coastline (Fig. 1) features physical variety. Maturely dissected mountains and hills cover most of the zone from the sea to the crest of the Coast Range. Peak elevations ranging from 600 to over 1,200 m lie within 100 km of the seashore. The zone has been separated into 2 physiographic regions at about Port Orford, the Coast Range to the north and the Klamath Mountains to the south.
