1987 Map of Drain

About this map

The town of Drain serves as the central hub for this Douglas County region, situated at the confluence of several vital waterways including Elk Creek, Yoncalla Creek, and Drain Creek. The landscape is defined by the surrounding peaks of Mount Yoncalla and Green Mountain, with a series of passes and gaps like Windy Gap and Pass facilitating movement through the steep terrain. Local history and recreation are centered around the Anna Drain Douglas County Park and the Jesse Applegate Historical Marker, which notes the area's significance in Oregon trail-era pioneering. To the north, the small settlements of Leona and Krewson follow the corridor of Krewson Creek. This late-1980s data records the established rural infrastructure of the period, from the Boswell Mineral Springs in the south to the scattered logging or resource operations indicated by a Quarry and numerous forest service roads.
