About this map

The Siuslaw National Forest encompasses the vast majority of this landscape in western Lane County, defined by a dense network of drainage basins and prominent ridgelines. High points like Taylor Ridge and Failor Ridge separate the various watercourses that feed into the larger river systems of the Coast Range. The small settlement of Reed sits tucked along a valley floor, representing one of the few named community nodes in an area otherwise dominated by timber management and conservation lands.

Transport through this terrain is primarily facilitated by an extensive system of forest roads, such as Natl Forest Develop Road 32 Rd, which connect the remote valleys of Five Rivers and Green River. The intricate hydrography shown, including Herman Creek and Indian Cr, illustrates the complex watershed patterns that have shaped both the local topography and the historical development of the region's logging industry during the early 21st century.
