1987 Map of Glide

About this map

The confluence of the North Umpqua River and the Little River anchors the community of Glide, serving as a vital focal point for both settlement and infrastructure in this Douglas County region. By the late twentieth century, the area supported a mix of residential life at the Mobile Home Park and administrative presence at the North Umpqua Ranger Station. The North Umpqua Hwy follows the river's path, connecting smaller hubs like Idleyld Park to the broader landscape. Industry and resource management are evident through the Quarry and the Rock Creek Fish Hatchery near The Narrows. High points such as Scott Mountain and Ace Williams Mountain overlook a complex network of drainages, including Rattlesnake Creek and McComas Creek, which carve through the timbered terrain. This survey reflects a period when the timber-and-river economy remained central to the identity of these riverside communities.
