About this map

Cherryville and Marmot sit along the high ground between the Sandy River and the Bull Run River, illustrating the rugged settlement pattern of Clackamas County in the mid-1950s. This survey focuses on the intricate water management system for the region, featuring Bull Run Reservoir No. 1 and Bull Run Reservoir No. 2, alongside several gaging stations and the Little Sandy Guard Station.

Further south, rural life is marked by the presence of George church and small schoolhouses like Porter School and Bull Run School. The topography is defined by prominent peaks such as Walker Peak and Lenhart Butte, while the Mount Hood National Forest boundary encompasses much of the eastern terrain. Traces of early industrial activity appear through a Gravel Pit near Roslyn Lake, reflecting the local infrastructure supporting these upland communities.
