Neahkahnie Mountain
Neahkahnie Mountain is a mountain, or headland, on the Oregon Coast, north of Manzanita in Oswald West State Park overlooking U.S. Route 101. The peak is part of the Northern Oregon Coast Range, which is part of the Oregon Coast Range.〔 It is best known for stories of Spanish treasure said to be buried either at the foot of the mountain, or on its slopes.
In earlier times, Native Americans would set fires to clear the mountain slopes so deer and elk would have tender vegetation to eat in the spring. Pioneers afterwards did the same so their cattle and sheep would have grass to graze on. Since at least 1990, however, this practice was discontinued and the slopes are heavily forested in many places.〔''Tales of the Neahkahnie Treasure'' (Tillamook: Nehalem Valley Historical Society, Treasure Committee, 1991), p. 2〕
The name comes from the Tillamook language, although according to Lewis A. McArthur the meaning of the word is controversial. ''Neah-Kah-Nie'' (other spellings, although obsolescent include "Ne-a-karney" and ''Ne-kah-ni'') is translated as "the place of the god", whose name has been transcribed as ''Acarna''.〔McArthur, ''Oregon Geographic Names'', 5th edition (Portland: Western Imprints, 1982), p. 534〕

in 1971 M. Wayne Jensen Jr., Director of the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum and Don Vlies, commercial fishermen suggested the stones were traces of a plane table survey made by Sir Francis Drake in 1579 as a Symbolic Sovereign Act for England 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Francis Drake's 1579 symbolic Sovereign Act of Possession on Neahkahnie Mountain, Oregon )〕
