1985 Map of Trail Butte

About this map

Elliott State Forest dominates this coastal Oregon landscape, characterized by a complex network of ridgelines and deep creek drainages that define the border between Douglas and Coos counties. The western edge of the map reveals the intricate shoreline of the lakes, where the North Tenmile Lake and Tenmile Lake extend into several arms, including the Big Creek Arm and Templeton Arm. Small hubs of activity are noted at Camp Easter Seal and the settlement of Templeton, which sits near the confluence of Robertson Creek and Johnson Creek. Significant elevation markers such as Benson Ridge and Roberts Ridge provide a topographical framework for the numerous waterways like Big Creek and Scholfield Creek that carve through the timberlands. The presence of a Hatchery on the creek south of Tenmile Butte points to the area's historical focus on local fishery management and natural resource maintenance.
