2011 Map of Marcola

About this map

The Mohawk River flows through this corner of Lane County, carving a valley that has long sustained the timber and agricultural communities of Marcola and Wendling. Early 21st-century geographic data reveals a landscape defined by its tributary system, including Mill Creek and Cartwright Creek, and the prominence of local landmarks like Drury Butte and Bunker Hill. The settlement pattern is anchored by essential civic sites, from the Marcola Post Office to three distinct burying grounds: Marcola Cemetery, Mabel Cemetery, and Drury Cemetery. These sites, along with the Earnest Bridge and Bedortha Reservoir, reflect the enduring footprint of rural Oregon life. The network of forest roads, such as Mohawk River Rd and Wendling Rd, traces the routes that connected these small mill towns to the broader region, while the Wendling Picnic Area marks a transition toward recreational land use in the river valley.
