2024 Map of Camas Valley

About this map

Camas Valley occupies a fertile basin where the Middle Fork Coquille River meets several vital tributaries, including Noah Creek and Jim Belieu Creek. This Douglas County landscape is defined by the convergence of water and terrain, with the East Fork Coquille River carving through the northern heights near Bennett Rock. The distribution of family-named landmarks and multiple small burial grounds, such as Martindale Cem and Patterson Cem, suggests a long-standing rural community structure tied to the valley floor. Water management is a visible priority here, evidenced by the presence of Kannah Reservoir, Thrush Reservoir, and Denn Reservoir. The surrounding elevations, including Camas Mtn and Lower Burnt Mtn, are crisscrossed by a network of resource roads like Upper Camas Rd and Suicide Creek Rd, illustrating the intersection of the natural drainage systems and upland access routes used by generations in this part of Oregon.
