About this map

The Siuslaw River winds through this coastal mountain landscape, anchoring a series of small riverfront settlements in Lane County. Several historic communities follow the river and highway corridors, including Mapleton, Swisshome, Tide, and Rainrock. The terrain is characterized by steep ridges and deep drainages, with Bald Mtn and Bailey Ridge rising above the numerous creeks that feed into the Siuslaw. The region's geography is heavily shaped by the Siuslaw National Forest, which covers much of the quadrangle.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows - Mapleton Lodge 3139 Cem and the Deadwood Cem near the northern settlement of Deadwood. Notable engineering features such as the Creek Tunnel / Ralph A Peterson Tunnel 7139 along the highway reflect the logistical challenges of the coastal range. Waterways like Lake Creek, Knowles Cr, and Indian Cr carve through the forested landscape, defining the paths of historic routes like Stagecoach Rd.
