1986 Map of Quines Creek

About this map

Cow Creek and the southern flow of Quines Creek define the settlement pattern of this Douglas County landscape during the mid-1980s. The community of Azalea serves as a local hub near the confluence of several mountain branches, while small clusters at Galesville and Fernvale reflect the dispersed rural character of the area. Significant local history markers include a Cem and Schoolhouse Spring, which point to earlier generations of residents who established homes along the creek bottoms. The terrain is dominated by prominent ridges and peaks, most notably Buckhorn Mtn and the curious landmark of Horse Heaven. Mapping of numerous extraction sites, including a Rock Quarry and several Borrow Pit locations, suggests ongoing road maintenance or industrial activity typical of Oregon's timber and transit corridors during this era. Public spaces like Windy Creek County Park provide a glimpse into the regional recreational land use established by the late twentieth century.
