About this map

Cottage Grove Lake dominates this portion of Lane County, where the Coast Fork Willamette River is impounded by a significant dam structure south of the Gap. The surrounding landscape is defined by its ridge-and-valley timberlands, accessed by the London Weyerhaeuser Rd and numerous BLM routes that weave through the drainage basins of Wilson Cr, Williams Cr, and McWilliams Cr. Small residential pockets and historic sites are concentrated in the south, particularly around the community of London and nearby London Springs.

Family history is preserved at the Taylor Lane Cem in the north and the Lone Pine Cem further south near London Rd. Notable infrastructure includes the Army Bridge and Thorne Bridge, which facilitate travel across the river's upper reaches. The topography rises sharply from the reservoir floor to distinctive heights such as Shortridge Butte, Kellys Butte, and the Twin Prairie Buttes, highlighting the transition from the valley floor to the forested uplands.
