About this map

The South Umpqua River carves a winding path through this Douglas County landscape, serving as the primary geographic corridor for the settlement of Days Creek. This mid-1980s provisional study illustrates a region defined by its complex drainage network, where numerous tributaries like Slimwater Creek and Shiuely Creek feed into the river from the surrounding high ground. The terrain is marked by significant elevations such as Bland Mountain and Beals Mountain, with Hyde Ridge forming a prominent spine in the southern portion of the quadrangle.

Evidence of local history and industry is scattered across the topography, from the Bland Cem located near Bland Branch to several Borrow Pit excavations indicating local resource extraction. The map also documents modern infrastructure like the Substation and a designated Trailer Park, reflecting the evolution of land use along the riverbanks. The intricate web of gulches and creeks, including Green Gulch and Bear Gulch, highlights the dense, dissected nature of this Oregon river valley.
