About this map

Willamette National Forest encompasses this high-elevation terrain in Lane County, dominated by the peaks and ridgelines of the Cascade Range. This 2014 survey details a landscape defined by industrial forestry and watershed management, where the drainage networks of Fall Cr and Chalk Cr carve through deep valleys. Notable landmarks like Elephant Rock and the summit of Sinker Mountain provide primary reference points within the complex topography of the Marine Ridge and Alpine Ridge.

The map reveals an extensive infrastructure of forest development roads, including Big Fall Creek Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 1925 Rd, which navigate the steep slopes and provide access to remote drainages like Evangeline Cr and Purdue Cr. This network reflects the modern management of timber and water resources, illustrating the vital role of the Willamette National Forest in the regional economy and ecosystem.
