About this map

Goldson and Franklin sit at the center of this rural landscape, where the foothills meet the bottomlands of the Long Tom River. The area is characterized by several distinctive volcanic landforms, including Richardson Butte and Cox Butte, which rise above the surrounding valleys. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as the Union-Turnbow-Mays Cem and Franklin Grange Cem, are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the long-standing agricultural roots of this part of Lane County.

A network of local roads like High Pass Rd and Ferguson Rd connects small settlements like Cheshire and Alvadore to the surrounding hills. Water is a constant presence, with names like Lingo Slough, Bear Creek, and Nails Cr delineating the drainage patterns toward the river. This documentation provides a clear view of the modern boundaries and land usage in a region where farming and timber interests have historically defined the community structure.
