About this map

The Middle Fork Willamette River defines this landscape in Lane County, where water management and timber history converge near the community of Lowell. The presence of the Dexter Reservoir and Fall Creek Lake reflects 20th-century hydrology, while several historic timber-era structures remain prominent. This area is notable for its preserved engineering heritage, including the Pengra Covered Bridge, Unity Covered Bridge, and the Lowell Covered Bridge.

Settlements like Dexter, Fall Creek, and Trent are surrounded by significant terrain features such as Butte Disappointment, Jacoby Mtn, and Mt Zion. For local historians and genealogists, the Fall Creek Christian Church Cem and Lowell Cem provide vital links to the families who settled this river valley. The map also documents numerous creek systems, including Rattlesnake Cr, Little Fall Cr, and Lost Creek, which historically supported the local rural economy and transportation network along routes like Jasper-Lowell Rd.
