Deadwood, Oregon
Deadwood is an unincorporated community in Lane County, Oregon, United States. It is located on Oregon Route 36, in the Oregon Coast Range. Deadwood was named after Deadwood Creek, a tributary of Lake Creek in the Siuslaw River basin. Deadwood Creek was so-named because of the dead timber snags next to its banks, which had resulted from a series of wildfires in the area.[3] Deadwood post office was established in 1884.[3] The post office was discontinued to the community of Greenleaf in 1914, but was reestablished in 1950.[3] Deadwood is the home of Alpha Farm, an intentional community established in 1971.[4][5] The farm owned the Alpha Bit, a café and book/gift store in Mapleton but was sold in 2018.[4] Other residents include the artists Ernie and Mary Lou Goertzen who lived in the old Deadwood schoolhouse from 1975.[6] References
