About this map

The Willamette River valley and the dense timberlands of the Siuslaw National Forest dominate this regional landscape in the early 1990s. The urban centers of Eugene and Springfield are shown in detail, anchored by the confluence of the Willamette River and Amazon Creek. To the west, the landscape transitions from the agricultural flats of the valley into the Coast Range, where peaks like Roman Nose Mountain and Prairie Peak rise above the complex network of the Siuslaw River and Lake Creek.

Land management patterns are clearly visible, contrasting the checkerboard ownership in the mountains with the established wildlife corridors of the William L Finley National Wildlife Refuge. Transportation is defined by the Southern Pacific railroad and Interstate 5 corridors, while water management is evidenced by the large expanse of Fern Ridge Lake. Smaller settlements such as Junction City, Harrisburg, and Swisshome provide focal points for local history research along the river systems and forest roads.
