2024 Map of Elwood

About this map

Springwater, Elwood, and Dodge anchor this part of Clackamas County, where agricultural plateaus meet the timbered slopes of the Cascades. The landscape is defined by the deep drainage of Clear Creek and the Clackamas River, which flows into the North Fork Reservoir at the northeastern corner. This modern survey shows a transition from rural homesteads and family cemeteries, such as the Mount Home Cem, to the protected wilderness areas of the south. High points like Green Mountain and Goat Mtn rise above a dense network of creek-cut valleys, including Little Clear Creek and Jackson Creek. The presence of the Nick Clausen Grave near the Clackamas River provides a specific point of genealogical interest, while the southern reaches are dominated by the Mount Hood National Forest and the Clackamas Wilderness.
