About this map

Lakecreek serves as a focal point in this 1980s landscape, where the confluence of the North Fork Little Butte Creek and the South Fork Little Butte Creek forms the primary Little Butte Creek. The map documents a complex water management system essential for the region, including the North Fork Canal, South Fork Canal, and the Irrigation District Canal. Several reservoirs, such as Star Lake Reservoir and Gardener Reservoir, are distributed across the hillsides, feeding into the drainage network that defines local land use.

Historical markers like the local Cem and several family-named landmarks including Gardener Butte, Brophy Hill, and Meyers Hill offer significant value for genealogical research. The northern portion of the map includes part of the Rouge River National Forest, characterized by high elevations at Heppsie Mtn and Little Baldy. Evidence of local industry is seen in several locations labeled Quarry and Borrow Pit, while numerous 4wd tracks indicate the varied accessibility of this terrain.
