About this map

The Elkton settlement sits at a strategic bend of the Umpqua River in Douglas County, where the waterway meets Elk Creek and Beaver Creek. This 2011 survey illustrates the rural landscape shaped by narrow river valleys and prominent elevations like Hancock Mountain and Saddle Butte. The local infrastructure is oriented around the river, with Binder Rd and Henderer Rd following the water's path toward the Elkton Post Office.

Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint the Elkton Cemetery and Henderer Cemetery, reflecting the area's established family footprints. The map also delineates recreational and natural landmarks, including the Elk Creek Tunnel Forest St Park and Elkton Pond. The drainage network is particularly detailed, showing the convergence of numerous smaller tributaries such as Grubbe Creek, Bower Creek, and Little Paradise Creek into the larger Umpqua system.
