About this map

The Mc Kenzie River corridor in central Lane County defines this landscape, where the Walterville Canal diverts water to the Walterville Powerplant to support early hydroelectric development. The community of Walterville serves as the focal point, anchored by the Walterville Sch and a local Fire Station. To the north, the settlement of Nye and the Camp Creek Sch mark the rural residential patterns of the late 1960s.

Infrastructure and industry are visible through several Quarry sites and a Gravel Pit along the river banks. Recreational and local landmarks like the Hendricks Bridge Wayside and the Walterville Res reflect the area's dual role as a utility corridor and a destination for travelers along Thurston Road. The topography rises sharply from the river flats toward Camp Creek Ridge and the Starks Hills, with the Beat Trail and various Jeep Trails cutting through the timbered heights.
