2014 Map of Mercer Lake

About this map

Florence and the coastal lakes of Lane County define this 2014 geographic study, where the Pacific shoreline meets the western edge of the Siuslaw National Forest. The map documents a complex landscape of interconnected waterways, from the North Fork Siuslaw River to a string of coastal basins including Sutton Lake, Mercer Lake, and Munsel Lake. These lakes are separated by notable terrain features like Dowells Peninsula and the high point of Herman Peak. Local history and genealogy interests are represented by the Haring Cem near Wendson Canyon and the residential clusters in Enchanted Valley. The coastal interface is further detailed with landmarks like Cannery Hill and Cannery Point, while infrastructure like the Oregon Coast Hwy and Mercer Lake Rd shows the modern access routes through this timber and recreation country.
