2017 Map of Mapleton

About this map

The Siuslaw River carves a deep path through the timberlands of Lane County, defining the development of small communities like Mapleton and Swisshome. This 2017 study illustrates the heavy influence of the logging industry on the landscape, notably with the Erskine Log Pond near Tide and Rainrock. The rugged topography is managed through an extensive network of forestry routes, including Natl Forest Develop Road 32 Rd, while the Knowles Creek Tunnel provides a critical passage through the high ridges. Genealogists can locate several local burial grounds, including the Deadwood Cem near the northern settlement of Deadwood and the Odd Fellows Mapleton Lodge 3139 Cem. These features reflect a history deeply tied to the natural resources and terrain of the Siuslaw National Forest.
