1986 Map of Mc Cullough Creek

About this map

McCullough Creek and its many tributaries, including Lunsbury Creek and Spring Creek, carve through the complex topography of Douglas County in this mid-1980s survey. The landscape is defined by its drainages and prominent elevations like Silver Butte and Panther Butte. This area shows a pattern of resource extraction and water management, evidenced by numerous Quarry sites and a Borrow Pit scattered among the ridges. Water sources are specifically identified, such as Bernstein Spring, Flory Spring, and the contained Hayward Pond, which likely served localized needs in this timbered terrain. The presence of several Prospect labels and a network of 4WD trails suggests an era of active mineral exploration and forest management. Distinctive landmarks like Fir Point and the location named Grayback provide essential reference points for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of rural infrastructure in the Pacific Northwest.
