2017 Map of Marley Creek

About this map

Camp Elkanah and the settlement of Starkey serve as the primary human outposts within this section of the Whitman National Forest. The landscape is defined by the deep incisions of Tybow Canyon and the high elevation of Fly Ridge, where a network of forest development roads like Nat For Dev Rd 2442 and Marley One Rd connect the remote terrain. In the northeast, the Grande Ronde River flows near Whitehorse Ridge, highlighting the vital water systems that have shaped the region's geography. Genealogists and local historians will find the Starkey Cem near Meadow Cr, a quiet marker of the area's early residents. The abundance of named water sources, such as Blue Mountain Spring, Cabbage Spring, and Time and a Half Spring, reflects the importance of natural springs in these forested uplands.
