1954 Map of Glide

About this map

The North Fork Umpqua River carves a winding path through this mid-century landscape, centered on the community of Glide. The map documents a rugged timber-and-agricultural economy, indicated by the presence of a Logging RR and the Rock Creek Fish Hatchery in the eastern reach of the quadrangle. Settlements like English Settlement and Nonpareil are situated along the valley floors, where the terrain breaks between prominent elevations such as Scott Mtn and Watson Mtn. Local infrastructure of the era is preserved in details like the Footbridge and Gaging Sta near Idleyld Park. The distribution of Cem sites and smaller place names like Peel and Fairoaks provides a foundational layout for those researching the early family footprints and rural development of Douglas County before modern expansion.
