About this map

Cottage Grove serves as the central hub of this Lane County landscape, where the Coast Fork Willamette River and its many tributaries, including Silk Creek and Row River, converge. The map documents a blend of municipal development and industrial history, notably marked by the W A Woodward Lumber Company Log Pond at Latham. This site, along with the nearby Cottage Grove State Airport and the Cottage Grove Post Office, illustrates the infrastructure supporting the local timber economy and community life.

Smaller surrounding settlements like Saginaw, Walker, and Divide are linked by a network of rural roads and watercourses. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, such as Shields Cemetery, Sears Cemetery, and the Walker Union Church Cemetery. Landmark features like McFarland Butte and the Mary White Bridge provide specific points of reference within this river valley environment.
