About this map

The Smith River meanders through a landscape defined by deep coulees and expansive highland benches in this section of Cascade County. The small settlement of Truly sits near the Truly Bridge, serving as a focal point for a rural network of roads including Millegan Rd and Truly Bench Rd. The topography is marked by significant elevation changes between the river valley and the high, flat plains of Truly Bench and Swede Bench.

Evidence of the area's pioneer history and rural infrastructure is scattered across the terrain, from the Belt Park Cem near Boston Coulee to the drop of Castner Falls along the creek. Numerous named coulees, such as Cannonball Coulee, Goodman Coulee, and Spanish Coulee, carve into the landscape, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that feed into the Smith River system. This map captures the region's character as a place of remote ranches and traditional river-valley geography.
