About this map

Cow Creek carves a deep, winding path through the Douglas County backcountry, serving as the central drainage for a network of family-named gulches and creeks. In the late 1980s, the landscape was marked by the remnants of earlier habitation and industry, including noted locations for Cow Creek (Site), Langdon (Site), and Brandt (Site). These sites, along with the settlement at Riffle, suggest a history of localized settlement tied to the waterways and timber.

Extensive industrial activity is visible throughout the terrain, indicated by numerous unnamed quarries and borrow pits scattered near the peaks. Notable landmarks like Rabbit Mountain and the headwaters of Susan Creek and Dutchman Creek define the vertical relief. This survey provides a distinct look at the land use of the era, where logging roads and improved tracks navigate between the steep ridges of the West Fork drainage.
