1954 Map of Drain

About this map

Drain and Yoncalla anchor this mid-century topographic record of the northern Umpqua River basin in Douglas County. The landscape is defined by the narrow valleys of Elk Creek and Yoncalla Creek, which dictated the path of the Southern Pacific railroad and Highway U. S. 99. These corridors connect the small settlements of Leona, Krewson, and Rice Hill, revealing the reliance on transportation and timber during the early 1950s.
