2011 Map of Tenmile

About this map

Tenmile Valley and the Upper Olalla Valley define the southern Oregon landscape of this Douglas County survey. The settlement of Tenmile serves as a primary hub, centered around the Tenmile Post Office and the nearby Tenmile Cemetery. The map documents a rural network of homestead-era names and family burial sites, including the McCulloch Cemetery and McGuire Cemetery. Water management is a significant feature of the local geography, evidenced by the Edward Wageman Reservoir, Berry Creek Reservoir, and the industrial Cleveland Log Ponds near the northern boundary. The terrain transitions from these valley floors toward prominent landmarks like Mount Shep and Chimney Rock in the southwest. A complex system of creek drainages, such as Olalla Creek and Berry Creek, feeds these reservoirs, illustrating the vital relationship between the local topography and water resources in the early 21st century.
