2011 Map of Days Creek

About this map

The South Umpqua River snakes through this Douglas County landscape, serving as the primary corridor for settlement and transit near the communities of Days Creek and Gazley. The topography is defined by the steep ascents of Beals Mountain and Hyde Ridge, where numerous seasonal and perennial drainages like Shively Creek and Beals Creek carve out deep gulches. Local infrastructure is anchored by the Days Creek Post Office and the Caroline Raymond Bridge, which facilitates movement across the river. For those researching family history, the Bland Mountain Cemetery sits on a high point overlooking the Bland Branch, while the Riverview Ranch Airport indicates modern land use along the valley floor. The map also documents a complex network of forest access routes, including several Bureau of Land Management roads such as BLM 31-4-11.1 RD, which penetrate the higher elevations north and south of the river valley.
