About this map

Goose Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Oregon territory, where the shoreline meets a complex network of seasonal drainages and marshy lowlands. The settlement of West Side serves as the primary hub for this rural agricultural district, situated at the junction of Westside RD and several county roads. The terrain is defined by the convergence of mountain-fed waterways, including the winding paths of Thomas Creek and Mill Cr as they flow toward the lake basin.

Local ranching and homesteading history is evidenced by named corridors such as Christensen Ln and Fenimore-Garrett RD, which segment the large townships. The map details a significant transitional hydrology, where defined streams like Antelope Cr give way to the sprawling wetlands of Cheney Slough and Drews Cr Slough. These features illustrate the vital relationship between the high desert geography and the water systems that support the community of West Side.
