About this map

The Willamette National Forest dominates this landscape in the late 1990s, revealing a complex network of resource extraction and water management. High-elevation peaks like Goat Point and Little Cowhorn Mountain overlook a topography deeply incised by the Mc Kenzie River and its numerous tributaries, including Little Fall Creek and Gate Creek. The map document numerous Quarries, illustrating the active industrial use of these forested ridges during this era.

Local recreation and conservation are evident at Marten Rapids County Park along the northern edge, where Marten Creek joins the larger river system. The detailed drainage patterns of North Fork Fall Creek and Slick Creek provide a clear view of the watershed's structure before turn-of-the-century changes. This survey is particularly useful for those tracking the historical boundary lines between Range 1 East and Range 2 East in this portion of Lane County.
