About this map

Alpha sits at the confluence of several mountain drainages in this forested portion of Lane County, where the settlement pattern is dictated by the deep incisions of Deadwood Creek and its many tributaries. The landscape is defined by prominent high points such as Windy Peak and Elk Mountain, with the surrounding terrain divided by significant landforms like Wilson Ridge and Buck Creek Ridge.

A complex network of timber and forest access roads, including Deadwood Creek Rd and Greenleaf Creek Rd, traces the narrow valley floors and follows the ridges. These routes connect isolated points along waterways like Karlstrom Creek and South Fork Bear Creek. The drainage patterns are particularly intricate here, with the map recording numerous named forks such as East Fork Lobster Creek and West Fork Deadwood Creek, illustrating the heavy rainfall and steep geography of the Oregon Coast Range.
