About this map

Alpha sits at a crossroads of timber and water within the Siuslaw National Forest, serving as a central point for a landscape defined by its deep drainage basins and prominent summits. The terrain is structured by massive landforms like Wilson Ridge and Buck Creek Ridge, while the eponymous Windy Peak rises as a landmark in the southeastern section. This 2017 survey details a complex network of forestry infrastructure, including Natl Forest Develop Road 35 Rd and numerous Bureau of Land Management routes that navigate the steep slopes between Deadwood Creek and Greenleaf Creek.

A significant cultural highlight is the Deadwood Creek Covered Bridge, located near the confluence of Deadwood Creek and its western fork. The map traces an intricate web of seasonal and permanent waterways, from Panther Creek in the north to Steinhauer Creek in the south, illustrating the hydraulic pattern of this part of Lane County. Access is maintained through routes like Lower Deadwood Creek Road and Steinhauer Road, which follow the natural contours of the creek valleys.
