2020 Map of Beaver Creek

About this map

The Siuslaw River and Smith River define this deeply dissected landscape along the border of Lane and Douglas counties. This terrain is characterized by a dense network of drainages and timber access routes, where the primary human footprint is found along the narrow valley corridors. To the north, the Siuslaw River Rd follows its namesake waterway, while the southern portion of the map is dominated by the complex headwaters of the S Fork Smith River. Numerous small tributaries with distinctive local names, such as Fryingpan Cr, Salmonberry Cr, and Arthur Jones Cr, reveal a history of local geographic identification. The presence of the Paradise Protection Rd and various Bureau of Land Management routes like BLM Rd 20-6-4 highlights the importance of forest management and fire protection in this heavily wooded region of the Oregon Coast Range.
