2017 Map of Horton

About this map

Horton serves as the primary settlement hub in this 2017 survey of the Coast Range foothills, where the industrial legacy of the timber industry is clearly visible at the Hult Log Storage Reservoir. The landscape is a complex network of ridges and drainages, notably Doris Stevens Ridge and Ballhizer Ridge, which funnel water into the Long Tom River and the S Fork Alsea River. Numerous family-named landmarks such as John Horton Canyon, Crenshaw Hill, and Stakely Canyon provide essential touchpoints for genealogists tracing local families in Lane County. The presence of the Goldson Cem near the confluence of Swamp Cr and Howard Br further grounds the map in local history. This edition details an extensive system of forest access roads, including High Pass Rd and Poodle Creek Rd, reflecting the modern management of these timberlands and their connectivity to the small community at Low Pass.
