About this map

The Long Tom River carves a distinctive valley through this portion of Lane County, where the 1980s landscape is defined by its drainage systems and small settlements. The community of Horton sits in the northwest near Village Cr, while Low Pass marks a key transit point further south along the divide between watershed basins. This provisional survey captures the transition between the South Fork Alsea River headwaters and the southern reaches of the Ferguson Creek system.

Local history and family legacies are preserved through landmarks like the Goldson Cem and numerous named features such as Doris Stevens lake and Ballhizer Ridge. The map documents public land use at Alderwood State Wayside and highlights the area's geography through curiosities like Burp Hollow and The Hole, providing a detailed look at the rural Oregon Coast Range before extensive modern development.
