2011 Map of Cherryville

About this map

Cherryville and the surrounding rural communities of Bissell, George, and Dover anchor this study of the Clackamas County landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map reveals a transition from agricultural use to private homesteads and timberland, marked by a dense network of residential roads such as SE George Rd and SE Firwood Rd. Natural water features are plentiful, including the North Fork Eagle Creek and the Eagle Creek Upper Falls, while numerous man-made bodies of water like Fleshman Reservoirs and Noble Acres Reservoir indicate historical water management for local irrigation or recreation. For genealogists and local historians, the George Cemetery serves as a critical point of interest, situated near the headwaters of Eagle Creek. The elevation is punctuated by landmarks like Lenhart Butte, overlooking a territory defined by its complex drainage into Deep Creek and the South Fork Eagle Creek.
