2017 Map of Quines Creek

About this map

Cow Creek and the meandering path of Quines Creek define the lower elevations of this Douglas County landscape, where small settlements like Azalea and Galesville are situated at the foot of the surrounding peaks. The map reveals a mix of timber-related infrastructure and private utility, notably the Vaughn Log Pond and the Nace Family Airstrip near Fortune Branch. These features, alongside numerous BLM access roads, underscore the area's legacy of forestry and rural aviation. Higher elevations are marked by landmarks such as Buckhorn Mtn and the uniquely named Horse Heaven. Genealogists will find the Quines Creek Cem documented near the creek that shares its name, while several springs and reservoirs, including Schoolhouse Spring and Win Walker Reservoir, indicate the historical importance of water management for the local communities and industries during this era.
