[or-roots] legal of the area

[Leslie Chapman]

Wny didn't I think of that?

With the notes from Geographic names I took another look at USGS locator.
for some reason when I tried it yesterday I got misdirected about 5 miles
north for some reason.

The legal description of the area of interest is the southwest 1/4 of
section 6, Township 4 north, Range 10 West. or there abouts, I don't really
see any evidence fo the plat, so I may be off a bit, but not like I was
yesterday, if I had given you a legal then I would have probably been one or
two townships off.

Sherry --

Generally, there is a plethora of responses citing McArthur's Oregon
Geographic Names to these questions -- I have been waiting, but ...

pg 670 -- Silver Point, Clatsop County. Silver Point is sometimes
referred to as Slyvan Point. This small promontory on Cannon Beach was
called Silver Point because of the characteristic color of the weathered
spruce trees on its face. The land adjacent to the point was platted and
recorded as Silver Point Cliff on April 21, 1894. On February 16, 1898,
Sylvan Park was platted and recorded a half mile north of Silver Point.
In 1929 Rodney L. Glisan, long familiar with the geography of this part
of Oregon, recommended that the name Silver Point be adopted, and this
style was also favored by the compiler of these notes. On December 4,
1929, the USBGN adopted the name Silver Point rather than Sylvan Point.

Original information about this subdivision should probably be obtained
through the Clatsop County Surveyor's Office, although, depending on how
things work in Clatsop County, said original records may actually be
held elsewhere.

Godspeed!
