About this map

The confluence of the North Fork Smith River and the Smith River dominates this 2011 survey, illustrating a landscape defined by deep-cut drainages and agricultural outposts in Douglas County. The settlement of North Fork is situated at a dramatic bend in the river, serving as a focal point for the surrounding canyon lands. Evidence of long-standing local presence is found at the Lower Smith River Cemetery and established homesteads like the Dailey Ranch and Weiss Ranch.

The rugged geography is marked by distinctive landmarks such as Henderson Peak and Buzzards Butte, while the water network includes numerous tributaries like McKinney Creek and Fiddle Creek. Recreational and river-based activity is centered near the Smith River Marina, while the interior is accessible via forest routes like Lower Smith River RD. This map documents a quiet corner of the Pacific Northwest where topography dictates the patterns of settlement and transit.
