About this map

Cow Creek and its many tributaries, including Quines Creek and Fortune Branch, carve through this Douglas County landscape where the Old Pacific Hwy and Interstate 5 dictate the modern movement of people. Small settlements like Azalea, Galesville, and Fernvale remain focal points for local history, connected by a network of rural routes such as Fernvale Rd and Murphy Rd. The topography is defined by significant elevations, including Buckhorn Mtn and the appropriately named Horse Heaven.

Family heritage is grounded in landmarks like the Quines Creek Cem and the Nace Family Airstrip, while the hydrological importance of the area is represented by Win Walker Reservoir. This survey also documents numerous springs and gulches, such as Schoolhouse Spring and Benjamin Gulch, which provide specific points of reference for genealogists and researchers tracking the development of these mountain communities.
