About this map

Laurel Mountain and its surrounding peaks dominate this part of Polk County, where the high elevations of the Oregon Coast Range dictate the flow of numerous drainages. Significant summits like Riley Peak and Condenser Peak define the topographical character, while the presence of Silver Falls along Bridge Forty Cr highlights the area's natural hydrology. The map details a complex network of forest access routes, including Rickreall Rd and Black Rock Rd, which follow the winding paths of their namesake creeks.

Water systems are central to this landscape, with the headwaters of the Little Luckiamute River and Rickreall Cr carving deep into the terrain. Notable features such as Boulder Springs and Boulder Pass provide specific landmarks within the high ridges. These labels, along with markers like Mule Tail Ridge and Gorge Canyon, provide a high-resolution look at the geographic naming conventions used in this timber and watershed region.
