2014 Map of Clay Creek

About this map

Siuslaw River drainage systems define this section of the Coast Range at the border of Lane and Douglas Counties. The landscape is carved by a dense network of tributaries including Saleratus Creek, Wolf Creek, and Potato Patch Creek, reflecting the steep, dissected terrain typical of western Oregon. While the area is dominated by timber management and Bureau of Land Management access roads like Siuslaw River Road and BLM 19-8-14, the Clay Creek Recreational Reservoir and Esmond Lake serve as key points of human activity and resource management. Historically significant named landforms like Letsom Mountain, Cougar Gulch, and Farman Flat provide specific locational data for researchers studying the geography and land-use patterns of the early twenty-first century.
