2011 Map of Herman Creek

About this map

Reed stands as a small settlement hub within this 2011 survey of Lane County's forested interior. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the winding Five Rivers and Herman Creek, which drain the steep terrain between Taylor Ridge and Failor Ridge. This map illustrates the intersection of timber-focused infrastructure and local history, where Five Rivers Lookout monitors the canopy while Indian Creek Cemetery provides a tangible link to the area's early residents. The topographic detail reveals the deep drainages of Misery Creek and Deadwood Creek, showing how the natural hydrology dictated the path of local corridors like Indian Creek Rd and Five Rivers Rd. This edition reflects the area's modern character as a managed forest environment where recreational and industrial access routes follow the same historic creek beds.
