1986 Map of Dean Creek

About this map

The timbered hills of Pacific and Washington counties are defined by a complex network of drainages and industrial paths as they appeared in the early 1980s. The landscape is carved by numerous watercourses, including Dean Creek, Suem Creek, and Elk Creek, which feed into larger systems. An Old Railroad Grade and Old Road Grade traverse the central portion of the map, tracing the legacy of the region's logging and transport infrastructure. Several Borrow Pit locations are marked near the ridges, indicating ongoing maintenance or construction projects during this era. This provisional survey captures the transition between the high ridges and the valleys of Martin Creek and Fourth Creek, documenting the terrain before later reforestation or development altered these historical transport corridors.
