Round Top

Round Top is a mountain summit in the northern Oregon Coast Range standing at approximately 3,000 feet in elevation. The peak ranks among the highest points in Washington County and offers views across the forested landscape.

A fire lookout tower with a cabin was built on the summit during the 1930s to monitor forest fires across the region. This structure served as a key observation point through the middle of the 20th century.

The mountain forms part of the Northern Oregon Coast Range ecosystem, where local communities maintain connections through outdoor recreation and environmental preservation.

The summit lies several miles southwest of the nearby town of Timber and can be reached via forest roads in the area. Access conditions vary by season and depend on the maintenance status of these routes.

The summit serves as a convergence point where multiple geographical lines and boundaries meet, making it visible from numerous locations across the area. This geographic feature historically made it a natural landmark for orientation in the region.
