2011 Map of Horton

About this map

Horton and the nearby settlement of Low Pass anchor this coastal range landscape where the headwaters of several major drainages diverge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of timber and access roads, including the CCC Rd and BLM Road 20-1-17.1, which navigate a complex system of ridges and canyons. The Long Tom River winds through the central valley, joined by tributaries like Swamp Creek and Dusky Creek. Local history is marked by family-named landmarks such as John Horton Canyon and Doris Stevens Ridge, alongside the Goldson Cemetery located near the southern map boundary. The presence of the Hull Log Storage Reservoir in the northwest corner reflects the area's industrial ties to the Pacific Northwest timber economy, while unique topographical features like The Hole, Lightning Hollow, and Burp Hollow reveal the intricate character of the Lane County backcountry.
