About this map

Tenmile sits at the heart of the Tenmile Valley, where a complex network of creeks like Tenmile Creek and Olalla Creek converge. The landscape in the early 1990s is defined by its water management and small rural communities, centered around the Ben Irving Reservoir and its associated dam. This area of Douglas County reveals a long history of local habitation through several family-named landmarks and resting places, including the McGuire Cemetery near Perron and the McCulloch Cemetery further south.

Elevated terrain features such as Bushnell Rock, Porter Hill, and Mount Shep ring the valleys, while evidence of local industry appears in the form of several Quarry sites and a Gaging Station. Small settlements like Byron, Olalla, and Bushnell are connected by improved roads and 4WD trails, illustrating the transition from established valley floors to the more isolated reaches of Coarse Gold Creek and Suicide Creek.
