About this map

Springwater and the surrounding rural communities of Elwood and Dodge define this mid-1980s landscape in Clackamas County. The terrain is deeply carved by the Clackamas River and its numerous tributaries, including Clear Creek and Little Cedar Creek. For local historians and genealogists, the placement of the Dorn Cem and another smaller Cem near the river provides valuable reference points for pioneer-era family research.

The southeastern portion of the map transitions into the Mt Hood National Forest, where steep slopes lead to high points like Green Mountain and Goat Mountain. Resource extraction is evident through several Quarry and Borrow Pit sites scattered near the winding 4wd tracks. The presence of the North Fork Reservoir and Metzler Park highlights the area's dual role as a managed timber landscape and a regional recreation hub.
