About this map

Putnam Valley and Sunnydale define the populated core of this Douglas County landscape, where the drainage of Elk Creek meets a network of timbered ridges. The area is defined by sharp topographic relief, rising from the valley floor to prominent heights like Tom Folley Mtn and Lookout Mtn. Small family or community landmarks, including the Putnam Cem and Ensley Cem, are preserved on this survey, offering essential points of interest for local history and genealogy.

Water plays a central role in the geography here, with the S Fork Smith River cutting through the northern section and numerous tributaries like Big Tom Folley Cr and Thistleburn Cr dissecting the uplands. Land management and access are reflected in the road network, which includes Or-38 and various timber or resource routes like Tom Folley Cr Rd and the Quarry access. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly steep toward Thistleburn Ridge and the isolated Deadman Butte.
