2011 Map of Dean Creek

About this map

The Fall River and its numerous tributaries, including Wilson Creek and Brush Creek, define the topography of this corner of Pacific County. In the early 21st century, these drainage basins were marked by a sparse network of forest roads and small, isolated settlements that speak to the region's timber and maritime heritage. The small community of Burt sits near the confluence of Elk Creek and Little Elk Creek, while other small hubs such as Bedford and Davis are scattered along the local valleys. Notable transport routes like Monohan Landing Rd and the Port Blakely area hint at historical logging operations and access points to the river systems. This landscape is a complex web of seasonal and perennial streams, including Fourth Creek and Swem Creek, which feed into the larger waterways that have long supported the local economy.
