Juglans nigra – Black Walnut

This black walnut is a remnant of a larger grove, planted around 1865, that marks the farthest navigable point on the Coos River. Before S. Coos River Lane was built in the 1920s, people and goods unloaded at
this community landmark and popular meeting place. The Smith Farm Walnut is an example of how trees
were often used as important landmarks for navigation before the advent of electricity and modern roadways.
