2011 Map of Putnam Valley

About this map

Sunnydale and the surrounding Douglas County highlands are defined by a complex network of timbered ridges and creek drainages that feeding into the South Fork Smith River and Elk Creek. This 2011 survey captures the rural character of the area, where the tiny community centers around the Sunnydale School and Putnam Valley. The terrain is marked by significant elevations including Tom Folley Mountain and Lookout Mountain, while local history is preserved at the Ensley Cemetery and Putnam Cemetery. The road network remains concentrated in the valley floors, with routes like Jack Creek Rd and Snell Rd providing access through the steep topography. Notable natural landmarks such as Deadman Butte and Thistleburn Ridge highlight the remote and unyielding geography of this part of the Oregon Coast Range, where small-scale settlement persists alongside various forks of the Big Tom Folley Creek and Thistleburn Creek.
