2020 Map of Clay Creek

About this map

The Siuslaw River winds through this heavily dissected landscape on the boundary of Lane and Douglas counties, reflecting the complex drainage patterns of the Oregon Coast Range. Named watercourses like Saleratus Cr, Bill Lewis Cr, and Pataha Cr feed into the river system, carving deep valleys between prominent high ground such as Haskins Ridge and Letsom Mtn. The 2020 data shows a region defined by commercial timber management and resource access, with a dense network of logging roads including Siuslaw River Rd and Wolf Creek Rd following the natural contours of the land. Small landmarks like Farman Flat and the secluded Esmond Lake provide specific points of reference for those studying the land use and hydrology of this part of the Pacific Northwest during the early twenty-first century.
