2011 Map of Mount Nebo

About this map

Oshkosh Mountain and its namesake Oshkosh Creek dominate the northwestern reaches of this topographic study, where the landscape is defined by the complex drainage of the Mohawk River system. The confluence of the North Fork Mohawk River and South Fork Mohawk River highlights a network of waterways that shaped the local geography long before modern infrastructure. Central to the map is Mount Nebo, surrounded by smaller tributaries like Nebo Creek and Straight Creek. These features illustrate the deep-cut valleys and ridgelines of Lane County as they appeared in 2011. While largely a natural landscape, the presence of Hatchery Creek and numerous logging or access roads suggests the enduring intersection of the timber industry and environmental management in the Pacific Northwest.
