About this map

The Siuslaw River and its numerous tributaries dominate this drainage-focused landscape in Lane County, where the unincorporated community of Lorane sits at the intersection of Cottage Grove Lorane Rd and Territorial Ln. The map reveals a deeply etched topography of ridges and peaks, including Hawley Ridge, Long Ridge, and Lorane Mtn, which rises above the surrounding valleys. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for three distinct burial grounds: the Crow Family Cem, the Independent Order of Good Templars Cem, and the Silk Creek Cem.

The hydrographic network is particularly dense here, showing the headwaters of Silk Cr, Maxwell Cr, and Pheasant Cr. To the north, Lake Louise and the Nossaman Reservoir serve as significant water bodies amidst the timbered hills. The transition from Lane County into Douglas County is marked in the southern portion of the sheet, where Pass Cr and Wards Butte Rd follow the terrain as it descends toward the southern reaches of the Siuslaw watershed.
