About this map

Marys Peak towers over this section of the Oregon Coast Range, anchoring a landscape where timber resources and municipal water management intersect. The Siuslaw National Forest covers much of the southern terrain, including the City of Corvallis Municipal Watershed, a critical conservation zone for local water supply. In the lowlands, the Southern Pacific railroad line tracks through the settlement of Blodgett, where the Blodgett Sch served the rural community.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites across the hills, including Mulkey Cem, Leslie Cem, and Davidson Cem. The Tumtum River and Marys River carve drainage patterns through the ridges, connecting small localities like Marval and Burnt Woods. This 1984 provisional survey illustrates the transition from industrial forestry and high-elevation Radio Facilities to the valley agriculture and small-town networks along the Corvallis Newport Highway.
