2011 Map of Beaver Creek

About this map

The Siuslaw River and Smith River define the intricate drainage patterns of this Lane County landscape, where dozens of named creeks converge through a network of steep coastal valleys. The map documents a heavily forested interior accessed by specialized routes such as Siuslaw River Rd and Paradise Protection Rd. Numerous waterways with distinct local identities, including Arthur Jones Creek, Clevenger Creek, and Shitten Creek, highlight the topographic complexity of the region. The drainage divide between the Siuslaw and Smith river systems is clearly visible, showing how Beaver Creek and Salmonberry Creek help carve out the local relief. This 2011 survey records the modern state of these remote timberlands and watersheds, preserving the nomenclature of the many small tributaries that feed the major river basins of western Oregon.
