2011 Map of Clay Creek

About this map

The Siuslaw River carves a winding path through this corner of the Coast Range, defining the drainage patterns of Lane County during the early 21st century. Named tributaries such as Saleratus Creek, Pittenger Creek, and Van Curen Creek feed the river from a landscape of steep gulches and ridges. The presence of Farman Flat and Letsom Mountain provides a look at the geographic nomenclature of the region, where family names are often preserved in the topography.
