1954 Map of Days Creek

About this map

The South Fork Umpqua River and Cow Creek form the primary drainage systems for this mountainous region of southern Oregon during the mid-1950s. The settlement at Days Creek serves as a local hub near the Bland Min Cemetery and Lavadoure Community Hall, while further east along the river lie the communities of Milo and Academy. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of the era, featuring remote educational outposts like Galesville School and Anchor School, and the operational presence of the Devils Flat Guard Sta within the Umpqua National Forest. Timber and resource management are evident through the network of trails and pack trails crossing Hyde Ridge and Patrick Mtn. The landscape is also defined by the Cow Creek Game Refuge and smaller industrial sites like the Miller Mine on Fate Creek.
