About this map

The striking landscape of Camp Douglas is defined by a series of prominent sandstone buttes and mesas that rise abruptly from the surrounding plains. These geological landmarks, including Wildcat Bluff, Bee Bluff, and Castle Rock, create a distinctive topography that dictated the routes of local transportation. The village itself is situated at a historical crossroads, where rail and road corridors navigate around the base of these formations. To the west and south, the terrain transitions into the winding drainage of Tug Hollow and the elevations of Mt Eve and Bellevue Hill.

Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial grounds across the quadrangle, such as Sorenson Cem and Saint James Cem, which serve as markers for the early agricultural communities of Oakdale, Clifton, and Hustler. The Lemonweir River and its tributaries, including Bear Cr and Little Lemonweir River, provide the primary hydrological framework for this part of Juneau and Monroe Counties.
