About this map

The North Umpqua River and Little River converge near the settlement of Glide, defining the geography of this Douglas County corridor. The presence of the Little River Log Pond and timber-access roads like Rock Creek RD and Hinkle Creek RD points to the area's deep-rooted logging economy. Small residential pockets and historical landmarks are scattered along the river valley, including the Wimberly Family Cem and the small communities of Idleyld Park and Peel.

Upland features like Copeland Butte, Scott Mtn, and Ace Williams Mtn rise sharply above the river canyons, while the Glide Aero Airport provides a point of aviation infrastructure in the valley. Local sites such as The Narrows and Hughes Canyon mark the distinct geology of the Umpqua watershed. This survey details the transition from the concentrated town centers near N Umpqua HWY to the surrounding forest management lands.
