APPENDIX B.

NAMES ON THE OREGON COAST RANGE LANDSCAPE

Appendix B is a sampling of landscape names with strong cultural and biological ties to precontact Indian communities in the Oregon Coast Range. Table B.1 is a list of Indian names given to landscape features. Table B.2 is a list of native plant names given to landscape features. Table B.3 is a list of native plant environments given to landscape features. Table B.4 is a list of plant conditions given to landscape features.

Other than Table B.1, the listed features are merely a sampling of the types of names dating to early historical time found on the Coast Range. These tables give a good indication of the specific locations of a large number of precontact Indian tribes and the types of plants and environments they were associated with.
