About this map

The South Fork Santiam River winds through the heart of this Linn County landscape, where the recreation and timber heritage of the Pacific Northwest is clearly visible. In the mid-1990s, the small community of Cascadia serves as a gateway to the Cascadia State Park, a site defined by the notable Soda Spring and the nearby Upper Soda Falls. To the north, the waters of Green Peter Lake dominate the terrain, surrounding The Peninsula and creating Whitcomb Island.

Tracing the transportation history of the region reveals the Old Santiam Road and Wagon Road following the river corridor, while the Quartzville Road provides access to Quartzville Park. High elevations like Moose Ridge and High Deck loom over the river valley, much of which is contained within the Willamette National Forest. For those researching local families, the Whitcomb Cem near the lake's edge remains a significant marker of early settlement along the Santiam.
