About this map

The community of Walton sits at the base of the Coast Range foothills, where the confluence of several vital watercourses defines the local topography. This 2020 survey documents the area's transition from high ridges like Nelson Mtn and Iron Mtn to the narrow valley floors. The presence of the Walton PO and nearby Walton Cem marks the enduring social center of this rural Oregon landscape, while the Chickahominy Cem to the north reflects the distributed nature of early hillside settlements.

Drainage patterns are intricate, with Wildcat Cr and Chickahominy Cr carving paths through the steep terrain. Movement through the region is dictated by these natural corridors and high points, such as Cougar Pass and the Nelson Divide. A dense network of logging and forest service roads, including Nelson Mountain Rd and Walker Point Rd, crisscrosses the slopes, illustrating the area's long-standing connection to the timber industry and land management practices of Lane County.
