About this map

The Siuslaw River and its numerous tributaries dominate this mid-1980s landscape at the boundary between Lane and Douglas counties. The map details a complex network of timber and drainage routes, featuring the Little Siuslaw River and the convergence of the North Fork Siuslaw River and South Fork Siuslaw River. Evidence of former industrial transport is visible in the Old RR Grade and Railroad Grade that follow the river valleys, indicating the area's history as a working forest.

Local landmarks such as Siuslaw Falls and Lake Louise provide geographic focal points, while the Lorane Grange Cem in the northeast corner serves as a significant site for genealogical research. The Gunter Recreation Site near Smith Creek highlights the area's transition toward recreational use. This survey captures the rugged hydrology of the region, from Dead Ox Creek to the curiously named Whiskey Cr.
