About this map

Walton sits at the convergence of mountain drainages in western Lane County, serving as a hub for the surrounding timberlands and valleys. The settlement is positioned near the junction of Wildcat Cr and Chickahominy Cr, with Or-126 providing the primary corridor through this section of the Coast Range. High points such as Iron Mtn, Nelson Mtn, and Badger Mtn frame a landscape defined by deep creek beds and ridgelines.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Walton Cem and the Chickahominy Cem, which offer physical links to the families who settled these drainages. A network of Bureau of Land Management routes, including Nelson Mountain Rd and Pataha Creek Rd, trace the paths of early industrial access. The map clearly delineates the Nelson Divide and Cougar Pass, showing how the early roads navigated the high breaks between the Lake Cr and Wildcat Cr watersheds.
