About this map

Flat Mountain and Buck Peak define the high ground in this 2011 topographic survey of Benton County, where the coastal range foothills transition into a complex drainage network. The landscape is marked by numerous timber and resource-related sites, including the Beaver Creek Seed Orchard and the Schreiber Lodge Boy Scout Camp located near the intersection of Wells Creek Rd and Cedar Creek Rd. This modern map records the persistent rural character of the region, where legacy landholdings are evidenced by named landmarks like Decker Ridge and deep topographical features such as Hells Canyon.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds like Emerich Cemetery and Powell Cemetery, which are positioned north of Mercer Creek. The intricate hydrography of the area is well-documented, showing the headwaters and runs of Greasy Creek, Beaver Creek, and Spencer Creek as they wind through the ridges. The road network, including Bunker Hill Rd and Hells Canyon Rd, illustrates the continued access into the more remote elevations of Franklin Ridge.
