About this map

Cottage Grove Lake dominates this portion of the Coast Fork Willamette River drainage, serving as a focal point for the surrounding hills and small valleys. The map illustrates the contemporary landscape of southern Lane County, centered on the community of London and the nearby London Springs. Historically significant sites for family researchers include Taylor-Lane Cemetery to the north and Lone Pine Cemetery further south, grounding the area's genealogical history.

The terrain is defined by numerous named ridges and peaks, such as Hoodoo Mountain, White Rock Ridge, and Shortridge Butte, interspersed with a complex network of creeks like Youngs Creek and Wilson Creek. Infrastructure is marked by crossings such as Army Bridge and Thorne Bridge, while recreational development is evident at the Pine Meadows Campground. The presence of Rattlesnake Prairie and Twin Prairie Buttes highlights the distinct geographic features that have long guided movement through this river valley.
