About this map

The Willamette River and McKenzie River converge in this detailed mapping of the central valley, illustrating the dense urban corridor between Eugene and Springfield. The landscape is a complex network of modern infrastructure and established institutional grounds, notably the sprawling University of Oregon campus and its associated housing. The area's history is anchored by numerous burial grounds, including the Pioneer Memorial Cemetery, Gillespie Cemetery, and several IOOF properties, which offer significant data for genealogists tracing early Willamette Valley families.

Hydrological features like Patterson Slough, Dedrick Slough, and the Mill Race reflect the legacy of water management and industry in the region. Prominent landmarks such as Skinner Butte and Gillespie Butte rise above the residential grid, while the Bohemia Incorporated Airfield and Lane County Fairgrounds mark centers of civic and commercial activity. The transition from the urban core to the foothills is marked by Moon Mountain and College Hill, providing a clear view of the city's geographical constraints.
