About this map

Clackamas River bends through the eastern portion of this quadrangle, serving as a focal point for local industry and recreation during the mid-1950s. The site of Feldheimer Ferry remains a visible marker of earlier river crossings, while nearby Bonnie Lure Park and Paradise Park highlight the area's transition into a space for public leisure. The interior landscape is defined by the winding course of Clear Creek and its many tributaries, such as Little Clear Creek and Mosier Creek, which carve through the terrain near the ridge known as The Hogback.

Educational shifts in the Clackamas County countryside are evident here, with several institutions like Viola School, Fir Grove Sch, and North Highland Sch marked as abandoned. These closures contrast with the active settlements at Redland, Logan, and Four Corners. Community life is further anchored by landmarks such as Fischers Mill, Grange Hall, and the Lower Highland Community Ch, illustrating a rural economy built on milling, agriculture, and local gathering places.
