About this map

The McKenzie River corridor serves as the primary artery for settlement and infrastructure in this portion of Lane County, Oregon. Along its northern banks, the Eugene Water and Electric Board Canal runs parallel to the river, a clear indication of the region's historical and ongoing reliance on hydroelectric development and water management. The community of Leaburg is situated at this vital intersection of water and transport, with the Greenwood Cem providing a genealogical record for the area's local families.

South of the river, the terrain rises sharply toward the heights of Miles Peak, where the landscape transitions into the heavily forested tracts of the Willamette National Forest. This southern half of the map is defined by a dense network of drainages, including Sturdy Cr and Little Fall Cr, which carve through the steep topography. The western edge near Deerhorn shows a concentration of rural development along Deerhorn Rd, contrasting with the more industrial and conservation-focused character of the highlands to the east.
