2014 Map of Sprague River East

About this map

The Sprague River meanders through the Northern Oregon landscape, defining the character of the Sprague River Valley at the beginning of the 21st century. This region is characterized by significant topographical elevation changes, transitioning from the broad Cliney Flat and Dams Meadow to the high points of Council Butte and Bly Mtn. Much of the southern and eastern portion of the map is dominated by the Winema National Forest, where the terrain rises toward Yainax Ridge. Local history is anchored by the Rock Creek Cem and Jackson Cem, while the northern section shows an organized grid of residential streets with names like Cowlitz St and Walla Walla St, reflecting a planned expansion in a largely rural timber and ranching area. Water resources are vital to this geography, including Muckney Lake, Horton Reservoir, and several named springs such as Rattlesnake Spring.
