1984 Map of Goodwin Peak

About this map

The Siuslaw National Forest dominates this landscape along the border of Lane and Douglas counties, where the Coast Range topography is defined by complex drainage systems and high ridges. The small settlement of Maple is positioned near the western edge of the quadrangle, serving as a rare point of human habitation amidst the dense forest. High points such as Goodwin Peak, equipped with radio facilities, and the curiously named Mt Popocatepetl overlook a web of waterways including Fiddle Creek, Sweet Creek, and the North Fork Smith River. This 1984 provisional survey illustrates the intersection of timber-focused geography and water resources, marked by features like a Rock Quarry and prominent cascades including Sweet Creek Falls and Beaver Creek Falls. The network of creeks—such as Karnowsky Creek, Cedar Creek, and Paxton Creek—carve through the steep terrain, illustrating the hydrologic character of the Oregon coast interior.
