About this map

Holy Rosary Cemetery sits in the northwest corner of this quadrangle, serving as a quiet waypoint in an area defined by deep river basins and mountain creeks. This 2011 survey illustrates the complex drainage network of the Cascades foothills, where Abiqua Creek and Butte Creek carve through the landscape. The map highlights several significant natural features, including Abiqua Falls and the southern Abiqua Basin, which provide clear markers for those studying the area's hydrology and land use.

Remote settlements and logging-related sites like Camp Peterson are linked by a network of timber and forest roads such as Crooked Finger RD NE and Abiqua Basin RD. For researchers and historians, the map's detailing of numerous waterfalls, including Fall Creek Falls and Trinity Falls Creek, along with high-elevation clearings like Elk Prairie and Crooked Finger Prairie, offers a precise record of this timber-rich portion of Clackamas County.
