About this map

Loon Lake and the surrounding drainages of the Oregon Coast Range define this landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The topographic data captures a network of forestry and access roads, including Loon Lake Road and Umpqua Ridge Road, which serve the small communities of Ash Valley and Ash. This region is characterized by steep drainage basins and prominent landmarks like Beehive Rock and Saint Patricks Rock, which rise above the water's edge.

A complex hydraulic system flows through the area, with Lake Creek and its many tributaries, such as Matson Creek and North Fork Soup Creek, carving deep valleys. The map provides a detailed view of these natural features alongside historical transit points like Michigan Pass. For researchers, the layout of roads like Elk Ridge Forest Road and Soup Creek Road offers insight into the modern infrastructure used to navigate this densely wooded terrain.
