About this map

Drain serves as the focal point of this Douglas County corridor, situated where the waters of Elk Creek and Yoncalla Cr converge. The landscape is defined by its deep ties to the timber industry, evidenced by multiple industrial water features including the Drain Plywood Company Log-Pond, the Smith River Log Pond, and the Mount Baldy Log Pond. These sites, along with the nearby settlement of Leona, illustrate the region's long-standing reliance on its river systems for transport and production.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several notable burial grounds, such as the Drain IOOF Cem, Applegate Family Cem, and Colvin Cem. To the south, Mt Yoncalla rises above the valley, while the presence of Boswell Mineral Springs suggests the area's diverse geological and recreational history. The terrain transitions from the developed valley floor into the steep ridgelines of Green Mtn and Sheep Hill.
