About this map

Siuslaw National Forest covers much of this landscape in western Lane County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and prominent coastal peaks. The elevation climbs from the valley floors to heights like Goodwin Peak and Sunset Mtn, with the curious naming of Mt Popocátepetl standing out among the more traditional local landmarks. Water is the primary architect here, with Sweet Creek and its notable Sweet Creek Falls providing a central corridor for the Sweet Creek Trl.

The map reveals a complex system of creeks, including Maple Creek, Bear Creek, and the North Fork Smith River, which carve through the ridges. To the south, the boundary between Lane Co and Douglas Co crosses the high ground near Fiddle Creek Ridge. This is a landscape of working forest and natural landmarks, where features like Beaver Creek Falls and Rocky Point highlight the physical geography that has challenged and supported generations of travelers and foresters in the Oregon Coast Range.
