About this map

Mud Spring Community Club sits at the heart of this high plateau in Douglas County, representing a focal point for the local agricultural community during the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of West Foster Creek and a series of rugged topographical depressions including Dutch Henry Draw, Wolf Draw, and Long Draw. This survey illustrates the vital importance of groundwater in the region, marking numerous natural water sources such as Marion Hill Spring, Willow Spring, and the namesake Mud Spring.

Evidence of local ranching and land use is visible through the notation of a Corral and a Water Tank north of McNeil Canyon. The map also identifies industrial sites like various Borrow Pits and a Borrow Pit, often associated with road construction or local maintenance. The broad expanse of Boulder Park dominates the northern section, showcasing the distinct glacial and geological features of this portion of Washington.
