1985 Map of Cherryville

About this map

Eagle Creek and its many tributaries, including North Fork Eagle Creek and South Fork Eagle Creek, define the drainage patterns of this Clackamas County landscape. Small rural communities like Cherryville, Firwood, and George are connected by winding roads through the timbered terrain, reflecting a mid-1980s pattern of residential pockets and light industry. Evidence of resource extraction is found at the Gravel Pits and Quarry, while the presence of a Fish Hatchery and numerous creek labels like Tickle Creek and Delph Creek highlights the area's reliance on its waterway networks. Local history is anchored by sites like the Cem near George and the small settlement at Bissell, while topographic landmarks such as Lenhart Butte provide significant vertical relief for the region.
