Drift Creek Wilderness is a wilderness area in the Siuslaw National Forest on the Oregon Coast. It was created in 1984, along with two other small wilderness areas in the forest - Cummins Creek Wilderness and Rock Creek Wilderness. The elevation of Drift Creek ranges from , and is characterized by long steep slopes with broken and uneven terrain.〔(Drift Creek Wilderness, Oregon ) - GORP〕 Drift Creek was named for the accumulations of driftwood on its banks. ==Human history== Natives of the Alsea tribe used to hunt and gather berries in Drift Creek Wilderness and the surrounding area. Later, in the early 20th century, American settlers tried unsuccessfully to homestead the wilderness. Fred Purath operated a subsistence farm and ran a few head of cattle. When he died in the early 1940s his land was purchased by Earl Harris. The only relic of the so-called Harris Ranch homestead is a moss-covered stove and stove parts along the Harris Ranch Trail.〔''Central Oregon Wilderness Areas (Cascades to the Coast)'', by Donna Aitkenhead, pp. 28, 31, 33〕
