2011 Map of Harlan

About this map

Big Elk Valley serves as a central geographic anchor in this 2011 survey of the Coast Range, where the settlement of Harlan sits near the confluence of several vital waterways. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, notably Big Elk Creek and Feagles Creek, which carve through a series of named ridges including Strom Boulder Ridge and Chinquapin Ridge. To the north, the small community of Burnt Woods and the Cline Hill Summit mark the transition toward the Little Elk Creek drainage. This map provides critical details for local historians and genealogists, locating the Harlan Cemetery and the Big Elk Campground within a terrain heavily influenced by forest management, as evidenced by a dense grid of service roads like Burnt Woods Ridge Rd and Feagles Creek Rd.
