About this map

Dement Cemetery sits at the northern edge of this drainage-rich landscape in Coos County, where the South Fork Coquille River meets Dement Creek. The terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways, including the North Fork Sixes River, East Fork Floras Creek, and Rowland Creek. These streams flow through a topography punctuated by named clearings and high points, most notably Bills Prairie and Calf Ranch Prairie in the west, and the prominent elevations of Whoorey Mountain and Robbins Butte to the northeast.

The transportation network relies on mountain routes such as Eckley Mountain Rd and Rowland Creek County Rd, which follow the natural contours of the various creek forks. The map illustrates a region where local geography is tied closely to these water systems, from the Middle Fork Catching Creek in the northwest to Baker Creek in the southeast, reflecting a legacy of rural land use and family-named landmarks.
