2020 Map of Cheshire

About this map

Goldson and Cheshire serve as primary anchors for this rural landscape in the southern Willamette Valley foothills. The terrain transition is marked by the Long Tom River and its accompanying sloughs, while the higher elevations are punctuated by prominent features such as Richardson Butte and the narrow Chris Fur Canyon. This area reveals a dense history of family and community burial sites, with several distinct cemeteries including the Union - Turnbow - Mays Cem and the Jones - Kime - Brown Property Cem. The mapping shows the established footprint of Franklin and Alvadore, connected by a network of rural roads such as Ferguson Rd and High Pass Rd. The presence of the Franklin Grange Cem suggests the historical importance of local social and agricultural organizations in this part of Lane County.
