About this map

The Mohawk Valley dominates the southeastern portion of this terrain, where the Mohawk River winds through agricultural and developed lands just before the close of the 1980s. Rising sharply to the west, the Coburg Hills and Coburg Ridge define a dramatic vertical landscape marked by several prominent peaks, including Mt Tom, Buck Mountain, and Round Mountain. This area illustrates the intersection of natural resources and recreation, with multiple labeled quarries and a Rifle Range situated near the valley floor.

Water systems like White Creek, McGowan Creek, and Cash Creek drain the higher elevations, feeding into the river system below. Land use is varied, showing the presence of a Golf Course and several Radio Towers atop high ridges, indicating the modernization of the region. The boundary between Linn and Lane Counties cuts across the northern ridges, marking a transition in jurisdictional land management during this era of Oregon's development.
