About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad corridor anchors the western edge of this mid-century landscape, connecting the settlements of Comstock, Curtin, and Anlauf as it follows the path of Pass Creek. The map reveals a transition from the developing valley floor to the high timberlands of the Calapooya Divide, where the Lane and Douglas county lines meet amidst numerous peaks like Cinnabar Mountain and Harness Mountain.

Local history is preserved in the location of the Elkhead Mines and the London School along the Coast Fork Willamette River. The creation of the Cottage Grove Reservoir is a defining feature in the northeast, submerged beneath which are the former courses of Snyder Creek and Williams Creek. Researchers will find significant genealogical markers including the Anlauf Cemetery and a noted Indian Burial Ground near Beaver Creek, alongside infrastructure like the Grant Applegate Bridge in Scotts Valley.
