The property
A schematic of 6777 Sterling Creek Road and the shared boundary with Rancho Picaro, drawn from the annotated satellite map. Not to scale, and not a survey. Tap any marker for the date and report number.
Select any marker
Each point carries its date and, where one exists, the police report number it was filed under.
One symbol from your annotated map is not reproduced here: the yellow hexagons. I couldn’t determine what they mark. Tell me and I’ll add them as a layer.
The surrounding ground
The wider frame from the annotated map: the shooting ground on Anderson Butte, the bullet strikes along Griffin Lane, and the two drainages where the named wildfires ran.
Fire register
Every fire on or near this ground that appears in the record, ordered by how close it came. Nine fires in eight years, three of them on the property itself. Red tiles are the ones we reported that no agency has resolved.

Causes are as published by Oregon Department of Forestry and regional news reporting as of September 2026. Where a tile reads “not published,” it means no cause appeared in the sources reviewed — not that none was determined.
Distances are approximate. They are derived from the address blocks published in the fire reporting, measured against 6777 Sterling Creek Road, and from the published location descriptions where no block number was given. They are not surveyed or GPS-measured, and should be replaced with measured figures before this is used as an exhibit.
Who is connected to whom
The same dispute, drawn as people rather than places. Five groups, and the lines between them. The line style is the whole point: solid where a document shows the connection, dashed where it is believed but unproven, dotted where it has been denied on the record.
Select any name
Each node carries only what the filed reports and correspondence establish about that person’s role.
Turn off the alleged and denied layers and what remains is the case as it can currently be proved. That view is worth showing an attorney before any of it is published: the five dashed lines are the ones that need a document behind them, and the dotted line between Amanda Morgan and Jenny Henderson is denied in writing.
Absence of a line means no connection is documented here — not that none exists. Several parties named in the exhibits are omitted where nothing established their relationship to the others.
