About this map

Springfield sits at the confluence of the McKenzie River and the Middle Fork Willamette River, defining the urban heart of this Lane County landscape. The 2017 survey details the city's eastward expansion toward the community of Thurston, contrasted by the steep, forested elevations of Coburg Ridge and the Mohawk Valley to the north. This modern topography serves as a detailed record of local genealogy and land use, documenting several burial grounds including Stafford Cem, Mount Vernon Cem, and the Jasper-Wallace Cem to the south.

Industrial and transit history are visible through the proximity of the Jasper Ridge Airstrip and the historic location of Hayden Bridge over the McKenzie. Significant elevation changes are marked by Mt Pisgah and Camp Creek Ridge, while the hydrological network of Irving Slough, Kizer Slough, and Thompson Slough illustrates the complex drainage of the Willamette Valley floor before it meets the rising Cascade foothills.
