1997 Map of Nimrod

About this map

The MC Kenzie River carves a narrow valley through this portion of Lane County, defining the local geography with its series of whitewater features like Eagle Rock Rapids and Hells Rapids. The settlement of Nimrod and the nearby Holman Station serve as the primary human touchpoints in an otherwise heavily forested landscape. Recreation is a central theme along the river corridor, evidenced by numerous access points including Rennie Landing Boat Ramp, McMullins Landing, and Sheppard Landing. Beyond the river banks, the terrain rises sharply toward peaks such as Nimrod Butte and Permot Mountain. Large sections of the map are designated within the Willamette National Forest, while smaller protected areas like Clover Point County Park and Howard J Morton State Park provide more localized public access to the river's edge.
