About this map

The Row River valley serves as the primary corridor for settlement and industry in this portion of the Cascade foothills. The communities of Dorena, Culp Creek, and Disston are linked by Row River Rd and the Row River Trl, a route tracing the historical path of the Oregon Pacific & Eastern Railway. This infrastructure reflects the timber-driven economy of the era, where small mill towns were established along the river to process logs harvested from the surrounding drainages.

Elevations rise sharply away from the valley floor toward prominent summits like Hawley Butte and Table Mtn. The landscape is etched with numerous named tributaries including Brice Creek, Sharps Cr, and Layng Creek. Historic landmarks such as the Staples Covered Bridge and the natural drop of Wildwood Falls anchor the local geography. The map also detail various Bureau of Land Management routes, such as BLM 22-1-5, which provide access to the timberlands and recreation areas beyond the river basin.
