About this map

Prairie Mountain dominates the center of this 1984 survey, marking the high ground along the Benton Co Lane Co line. The landscape is defined by its industrial and recreational utility during the mid-1980s, featuring several extractive sites like Headrick Quarry and multiple Quarry and Borrow Pit locations. These operations are connected by a network of timber and access roads, including the Little Lobster Creek Road and Hull Oakes Rd, which snake through the complex drainages of Bummer Creek and Wilson Creek.

In the northeastern corner, the Alsea River flows near Herbert K. McBee Mem Park, providing a rare public recreational landmark in a territory otherwise focused on resource management. Traces of regional infrastructure are evident at Gunsight Pass and the Radio Facility, while the presence of Beaver Ponds and the East Fork Lobster Creek highlights the intricate hydrology of this timber-rich portion of the Coast Range.
