2020 Map of Tenmile

About this map

Tenmile and Olalla serve as the primary hubs in this part of Douglas County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Tenmile Cr and Olalla Creek. The map reveals a community structured around narrow valleys and significant water management, evidenced by the Ben Irving Reservoir and Edward Wageman Reservoir. The presence of the Cleveland Log Ponds in the northeast corner points to the local importance of the timber industry, providing a concrete link to the region's economic drivers. Genealogists will find particular value in the placement of several local burial sites, including Tenmile Cem, McGuire Cem, and McCulloch Cem, which are tucked away near established family-named landmarks like Porter Hill and Dickerson Rocks. The terrain is marked by prominent geological features such as Bushnell Rock and Chimney Rock, which anchor the various canyons and mountain ridges that separate these rural settlements.
