2017 Map of Glide

About this map

The confluence of the North Umpqua River and the Little River anchors this study of the Douglas County landscape near Glide. This area is characterized by a mix of aviation infrastructure, including Umpqua Airport and Glide Aero Airport, and industrial remnants like the Copeland Butte Quarry and the Little River Log Pond. The terrain is marked by significant elevations such as Scott Mtn and Ace Williams Mtn, while the river systems are spanned by notable crossings like the Floyd Frear Bridge and Glide Bridge. Local history is preserved at the Wimberly Family Cem, situated south of the main settlement. Small communities like Idleyld Park and Peel are connected by a network of Bureau of Land Management roads, reflecting the region's managed forest and river economy. The presence of The Narrows on the North Umpqua suggests the river's dynamic passage through the canyons.
