2020 Map of Mercer Lake OE W

About this map

The coastal interface of Lane County comes into sharp focus at Florence, where the Siuslaw River meets the Pacific Ocean. This 2020 survey documents the transition from the city's northern residential fringes at Heceta Beach into the protected lands of the Siuslaw National Forest. The landscape is defined by its water systems, from the drainage of Sutton Creek to the offshore outcrops of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge. Notable landmarks like Sea Lion Point and Cox Rock dot the coastline, while Cannery Point provides a historical reference to the river's industrial past. The interior is partitioned by complex property boundaries, including various land parcels like PB 39 and PB 42, which neighbor the established recreational corridors of the Baker Beach Loop Trail.
