About this map

The Lorane Grange Cem sits on the eastern edge of this landscape, overlooking the headwaters and tributaries of the Siuslaw River and Smith River. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents a highly dissected timber and watershed region along the Lane Co and Douglas Co border. The drainage network is dense, featuring Siuslaw Falls and numerous named creeks such as Letz Creek and Little Siuslaw Cr.

Modern land use is reflected in a specialized network of trails and forestry roads with unique local names like Bloody Stump, Tree Prison, and Stumps Don't Win. Significant infrastructure includes the Carpenter Bypass Rd and Chateau Lorane, while the western portion of the map is defined by the steep valleys of the Doe Cr and Russell Cr systems. The map provides a precise record of the topography and named water bodies that define this part of the Oregon Coast Range.
