About this map

Coburg occupies the level valley floor east of the Willamette River, serving as a primary hub where the Southern Pacific railroad meets a network of country roads like Coburg Road and Van Duyn Road. The landscape is defined by the contrast between the fertile, creek-laced lowlands of Coburg Bottom and the sudden elevation of the eastern foothills. Prominent peaks such as West Point Hill and Centennial Butte rise sharply from the plains, while the winding courses of Dry Muddy Creek and Mill Slough dictate the local drainage patterns.

Local history is preserved in landmarks like the West Point Cem and the small settlement of Daniels. The map records an era of transition for the rural Willamette Valley, showing industrial and infrastructure markers including a Quarry, a Landing Strip, and Roadside Rests along the developing highway corridor. The boundary between Linn and Lane counties cuts through this diverse terrain, marking the northern edge of the survey.
