1984 Map of Beaver Creek

About this map

The Suislaw River and Smith River systems dominate this mid-1980s landscape along the border of Lane and Douglas Counties. This mountainous region is defined by an intricate network of drainages, where named features often reflect early local families or colorful descriptive markers, such as Arthur Jones Cr, Fryingpan Creek, and Shitten Creek. Central to the drainage basin is the Beaver Creek School, a lone institutional landmark situated near the confluence of Beaver Creek and the Smith River. The terrain is notably steep, characterized by high ridges like Peterson Point and deep valleys such as Doe Hollow Creek. This provisional survey preserves the geographical nomenclature of the Coast Range timberlands, illustrating the complex hydrology where the South Fork Smith River meets its numerous tributaries like Cleavenger Cr and Plank Creek.
