You have a single map of Eugene's neighborhoods and want to provide the correct subject cutter for that type of map using LC G classification? Or, you are looking to find or establish a geographic area code for a specific neighborhood in Eugene? If its the former, the subject code of "F7" seems a bit "more correct" to me than using "E1", which would be much too broad for this purpose. That said, I do realize that a neighborhood or map of neighborhoods doesn't necessarily equate to them being administrative or political divisions in most cases, but in alot of cities this would be a match of the concept in at least some of the neighborhoods. If its the latter situation, you would have to use the "cutter technique" whereby you would create a geographic area code for the neighborhood in question using the base classification number and code for the city of Eugene first, which is G4294.E8, then add a colon, then the number "2", then a specific alphanumeric code based on the first letter and then a number representing the second letter of the name of the neighborhood. As an example, if you have access to LC's /Classification Web/ you can look up the geographic area codes for the University of Oregon, located in Eugene, which is G4294.E8:2U5 or for Lane Community College in Eugene, which is G4294.E8:2L3. Hope this helps!
