1990 Map of Cedar Creek

About this map

The Williams River carves through this drainage system in western Oregon, defining a landscape dominated by timber-country topography and complex water networks at the border of Douglas and Coos Counties. This 1990 provisional survey documents a period of limited accessibility, where transit through the steep terrain is largely restricted to 4wd tracks that follow ridgelines and creek beds. The drainage pattern is exceptionally dense, featuring numerous named tributaries like Gods Thumb Creek, Arrow Creek, and Skip Creek which feed into the larger arterial flows of Cedar Creek and the river. Significant elevation points, such as Green Peak in the northeast, provide a sense of the vertical scale and depth of these coastal range valleys. Local historians and genealogists can use the map to trace specific watershed boundaries and land divisions defined by the section lines and township markers, including Townships 26 and 27 South.
