I have several write-ups for some families I am researching that mention several Lane Co. locations that seem to be the same place with name changes through the years. They are Carpus Prairie, Hebron, Wallace, and London. Can anyone provide a history of these places? Jim

The only name I find listed in "Oregon Geographic Names" by Lewis A. McArthur, Third Edition is Wallace in Clackamas County, two miles south of Wilsonville. Wilsonville is also in Clackamas County. He lists a London Peak but it is in Josephine County. Sorry I couldn't find anything referring to Lane County.

Try Googling each name with "Oregon." I found that Hebron was near Cottage Grove in Lane County. It disappeared with the construction of Cottage Grove Dam. London was also a nearby community. http://www.ccrh.org/comm/cottage/hebron.htm Judy Church Jones ----- Original Message ----- From: "Earline Wasser" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 26, 2005 11:23 AM Subject: RE: [OREGON] Lane County Place Names > The only name I find listed in "Oregon Geographic Names" by Lewis A. > McArthur, Third Edition is Wallace in Clackamas County, two miles south of > Wilsonville.
