2020 Map of Canyonville

About this map

The South Umpqua River and Cow Creek define the geography of this Douglas County corridor, where the settlements of Canyonville, Riddle, and Myrtle Creek are linked by Interstate 5 and the Central Oregon & Pacific RR. The map captures a landscape shaped by both industrial timber operations and steep terrain, evidenced by features like the Gorder Log Pond and the high elevations of Canyon Mtn and Tellurium Peak. This era of the region's development is reflected in the residential growth of Tri-City and the smaller enclave at Surprise Valley. Genealogists and local researchers can identify several significant burial grounds, including Bradley Cem near Fords Bridge and the Pioneer Cem overlooking the river valley. The presence of the Myrtle Creek Municipal Airport and numerous rural access routes like Canyonville Riddle Rd and Shoestring Rd illustrates the modern infrastructure layered over the historical river-valley transportation network.
