SPECIAL PAPER 40, FINAL REPORT: JOHNSON CREEK LANDSLIDE RESEARCH PROJECT, LINCOLN COUNTY, OREGON
Publisher: DOGAMI
This is the final report of a five-year investigation by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) on the Johnson Creek Landslide in Lincoln County. The ODOT Research Program sponsored the project in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration in order to gain a better understanding of the mechanics of
large translational landslides affecting Tertiary sedimentary rocks along the U.S. west coast. The U.S. Geological Survey Landslide Hazards Program became a partner in the project in 2005 with similar aims. The slide is less than ¼ mile south of Otter Rock, Oregon and impacts U.S. Highway 101, two private structures and local utilities. It is clearly visible on 1939 aerial photos and causes a westward deflection of Highway 101.
