2014 Map of Elkton

About this map

The confluence of Elk Creek and the Umpqua River anchors the community of Elkton, a riverfront settlement in Douglas County. This survey reflects the region’s topography where narrow valley floors support the primary transport routes of Or-38 and Or-138. Family histories are preserved at the Henderer Cem and Elkton Cem, while the rugged surroundings are defined by landmarks like Hancock Mtn and Saddle Butte. The engineering of the timber and transit corridor is evidenced by the Elk Creek Tunnel 3437 located near the eastern edge of the quadrangle. Steep drainages such as Paradise Cr, Halfway Cr, and Little Tom Folley Cr feed into the river system, illustrating the intricate watershed that has shaped local settlement patterns and the development of mountain roads like Halfway Cr Rd.
