A
Little About Our Town of Mapleton!
Located about 15 miles up the Siuslaw River from
Florence,
at the head of the river’s tidewater, Mapleton was thought to
be named
for its many big-leaf maples. Residents live along the river and in
adjacent
valleys, and the Mapleton Boat Ramp is a popular place during the
salmon
and steelhead runs. A handful of stores and shops front Highway 126,
the
main east-west route between Florence and Eugene.
