About this map

Mt Nebo and Oshkosh Mtn anchor the high ground of this section of Lane County, where the upper reaches of the Mohawk River system carve through the terrain. The drainage network is complex, featuring the N Fork Mohawk River and S Fork Mohawk River, which gather water from numerous named tributaries including Mill Cr and Oshkosh Cr. This 2020 survey illustrates the remote character of the area, defined by steep ridges and deep creek beds like Nebo Cr and Buttin Cr.

Tracing the watercourses reveals local nomenclature such as Hatchery Cr and Camp Cr, suggesting historical land uses in these mountain valleys. The map shows the Public Land Survey System grid (Townships 15S through 17S), providing a framework for identifying specific timber and forest tracts. Roads like the 17-1-13 RD provide the few access points into this heavily dissected landscape of the Oregon Cascades foothills.
