Oregon Route 53 (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Oregon Route 53 is an Oregon state highway that through a pair of river valleys in the Oregon Coast range; those of the Necanicum River and the Nehalem River. OR 53 constitutes the Necanicum Highway No. 46 (see Oregon highways and routes). Oregon Route 53 begins (at its southern terminus) at a junction with U.S. Route 101 in the city of Nehalem. Soon after leaving the city, the highway begins to follow the North Fork of the Nehalem River (and several minor tributaries). Eventually, the highway and the river diverge; and the highway crosses through a pass to enter the basin of the Necanicum River. It follows this river for a distance, until the highway ends at an intersection with U.S. Route 26 at Necanicum Junction.
