About this map

Drain serves as the focal point of this Douglas County region, situated at the confluence of several vital watercourses including Elk Creek and Pass Creek. The local landscape is deeply tied to the timber industry, evidenced by prominent industrial landmarks such as the Smith River Lumber Company Log Pond near Leona and the Drain Plywood Company Log Pond. These water-bound facilities illustrate the historical reliance on local mill operations for the area's economy.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial sites, from the Applegate Family Cem in the south to the Colvin Cem and Drain IOOF Cem. The terrain is punctuated by distinctive high points like Green Mtn and Mount Baldy, while old transport routes like Old Applegate RD and Drain Section Rd trace the paths of early settlement. Notable landmarks like the Homes Gallup Bridge further anchor the geography of this Pacific Northwest timber town.
