2017 Map of Walton

About this map

Walton sits at the confluence of several vital waterways in this part of Lane County, where the southern drainage of Wildcat Cr meets the upper reaches of Pataha Cr and Walker Cr. The landscape is defined by its steep elevations and timber-ready terrain, dominated by significant peaks such as Iron Mtn, Nelson Mtn, and Badger Mtn. A complex network of logging and access roads, such as Walker Point Rd and Nelson Mountain Rd, weave through the narrow valleys and across high points like Cougar Pass. Genealogists will find local history preserved at the Chickahominy Cem and Walton Cem, which mark the early footprint of this rural community. The concentration of smaller tributaries like Jack Hays Cr, January Cr, and Potterf Cr illustrates a watershed system that shaped the region's early development and logging routes.
