2017 Map of Dean Creek

About this map

Burt and Bedford are situated in a landscape defined by the intricate drainage of the Willapa Hills area during the early 21st century. The terrain is marked by a dense network of watercourses, including the Fall River and Dean Creek, which flow through the northern sections, and the meandering paths of Little Elk Cr and Swem Cr to the south. This 2017 survey reveals the spatial distribution of rural settlements like Elk Creek, Davis, and Swem, often located along these essential water systems. Land management history is noted through labels such as Port Blakely, indicating legacy timber or land interests that shaped the region's development. The map provides a clear look at the township and range divisions, such as t14n r6w, which underscore the systematic organization of this Pacific County territory.
