Description: Neskowin, Oregon is a little known town located just north of Lincoln City. It was originally referred to by local natives as Nestugga (or Nestucca) called "Woods," the area was eventually abandoned. Neskowin as it became known means plenty of fish; reports in the early 20th century note that the waters were black because of the abundance. Settlers eventually came in 1886, when a sailing vessel filled with wheat and lumber ran aground. It remains to this day a quiet spot on the coast, largely unchanged since the early 70's. This design is a subtle reminder of where Neskowin is located.
Description: Situated in British Columbia, Dawson Creek serves as the starting point for the northern highway. The scene features the official road marker surrounded by pine trees, bear paw indentations, and wild mountain flowers. Snow-capped peaks rise in the distance beneath the glowing northern lights, marking the beginning of the journey through the wilderness. This location represents the gateway to northern travel routes and the vast expanse of the coniferous forest landscape.
