1954 Map of Glide

About this map

English Settlement and the surrounding timberlands of Douglas County are documented here in the mid-1950s, highlighting a landscape defined by the intersection of natural watercourses and industrial access. The Calapooya River and the North Fork of the Umpqua provide the primary drainage for this mountainous terrain, where ridges like Taylor Ridge and Robinson Ridge separate numerous creek valleys. Evidence of the region's mid-century timber economy is prominent, specifically through the network of the Private Logging Railroad and various private roads used for extraction.
