2020 Map of Crow

About this map

The unincorporated community of Crow serves as a focal point in this portion of Lane County, where the lowlands of Coyote Cr meet the rising foothills of the Coast Range. Long-established family names are preserved throughout the landscape in the form of small burial grounds, including Gates Cem, Liles Cem, Jenkins Cem, and McCulloch Cem. These sites, often positioned on higher ground above the drainages, offer significant data for genealogists tracing early settlers of the Willamette Valley’s western edge. The drainage patterns of Wolf Cr and Battle Cr define the local topography, feeding into reservoirs such as Smith Reservoir and Ford Farms Reservoir. A network of Bureau of Land Management roads, such as BLM RD 19-5-21.4, provides access to the higher elevations around Wolf Point, reflecting the region's ongoing involvement with timber management and public land use.
