2014 Map of Veneta

About this map

Fern Ridge Lake dominates this portion of Lane County, with the rising waters of the mid-20th century defining the local geography around Richardson Point and Perkins Peninsula. The map details the growing communities of Veneta and Elmira, centers of settlement along the Territorial Hwy and Or-126. Away from the modern town centers, the landscape preserves older layers of residency, including the Richardson Cem and the Central Sch Association Cem. Smaller waterways like the Long Tom River and W Fork Coyote Cr thread through the southern hills and northern flats. Notable landforms such as Demming Ridge and Fisher Butte provide a topographical frame to the extensive wetlands and sloughs that feed into the lake, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the southern Willamette Valley foothills.
