About this map

Scotts Valley and the surrounding drainages of the Oregon Coast Range are depicted here in a period of modern rural management. The landscape is defined by its creek-fed valleys, including Shoestring Valley and Pleasant Valley, where agricultural roads like Scotts Valley Rd and Elkhead Rd connect isolated homesteads and small settlements. The community of Elkhead serves as a central point in this network of timbered hills and winding watercourses.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Harris Family Cem and the naming of infrastructure like the Grant Applegate Bridge and Milltown Hill Bridge significant for tracing family ties to the land. The topography is anchored by prominent summits such as Dickinson Mtn, Ben More Mtn, and Indian Butte, while numerous small streams like Schoolhouse Cr and Shingle Mill Cr hint at the historical locations of early schools and industry in these tight-knit Oregon valleys.
