2011 Map of Upper Soda

About this map

Upper Soda serves as a focal point in this Linn County landscape, where the South Santiam River winds through a complex network of drainages. The area is defined by its significant vertical relief, marked by prominent landmarks such as Moose Mountain, Rooster Rock, and the strikingly named Bloody Point. To the north, Moose Lake sits near the headwaters of Moose Creek, while a web of forest access ways like Moose Mountain Rd and Soda Fork Rd provide the primary infrastructure for this timber-rich region. The drainage patterns of Little Boulder Creek, Stewart Creek, and Keith Creek illustrate the watershed's role in feeding the larger river system, reflecting the traditional land use and natural topography of the Oregon Cascades during the early 21st century.
