About this map

The confluence of the North Umpqua River and the Little River serves as the central focal point for this Douglas County landscape. Known for the unusual river feature at The Narrows, this area includes the communities of Glide and Idleyld Park, which are connected by a series of crossings including the Floyd Frear Bridge and Glide Bridge. The local economy and land use are reflected in the presence of the Little River Log Pond and the Copeland Butte Quarry, alongside infrastructure like the Umpqua Airport and Glide Aero Airport.

Genealogical interest is found at the Wimberly Family Cem, situated near the riverbanks. The surrounding terrain is marked by prominent peaks such as Scott Mtn, Watson Mtn, and Ace Williams Mtn. A portion of the corridor is designated as the North Umpqua Wild and Scenic River, highlighting the protected nature of this waterway. The map also traces various Bureau of Land Management routes, such as BLM RD 32-2, which provide access to the timbered highlands around Peel.
