About this map

The Siuslaw River winds through this coastal mountain landscape, serving as the central artery for the small communities of Mapleton, Swisshome, and Tide. The topography is defined by narrow creek valleys and steep ridges, with notable peaks like Bald Mountain rising above the watershed. The settlement pattern follows the river and its major tributaries, such as Lake Creek and Indian Creek, where historical post offices and small clusters of homes are located.

Genealogists will find significant local history at the Independent Order of Odd Fellows-Mapleton Lodge 3139 Cemetery near Mapleton and the Deadwood Cemetery to the north. The area's development is marked by rural infrastructure like Deadwood Creek Rd and the Deadwood Post Office, reflecting the long-standing timber and river-based economy of Lane County. Distinctive landforms like Rock Canyon, Slide Gulch, and the river bend known as The Horn further characterize this portion of the Oregon Coast Range.
