2023 Map of Letz Creek

About this map

The Siuslaw River and its numerous tributaries dominate this drainage-rich landscape in the Coast Range along the border of Douglas and Lane counties. This 2023 survey documents a terrain defined by complex timber management and recreational infrastructure, where Bureau of Land Management roads like BLM RD 20-6-2 provide access to the deep interior. The map captures the meeting of the Siuslaw River and its South Fork, alongside significant waterways like the Smith River and Little Siuslaw Creek. Cultural landmarks are centered near the northeast corner, notably the Lorane Grange Cem and Lake Louise. Modern usage is represented through specialized networks like the Tyrell Forest Succession Trl and the Carpenter Bypass Mtn Bike Trl, showing how former logging corridors have been repurposed for conservation and mountain biking.
