About this map

North Umpqua River and the Little River converge near the settlement of Glide, defining the geography of this Douglas County region in the late 20th century. The landscape is characterized by its reliance on the river systems and forest management, evidenced by the Glide Ranger Station and the Rock Creek Fish Hatchery located near The Narrows. Higher elevations are marked by landmarks like Scott Mountain, which features a Lookout Tower, and Ace Williams Mountain to the southeast.

Local infrastructure supports both industry and recreation, with several Borrow Pits and a Quarry indicating resource extraction, while Idlewild Park Picnic Area and Swiftwater Park provide public access to the riverfront. A small Cem is located south of the main Glide settlement, offering a point of interest for genealogists tracking family history in the area. The presence of numerous named creeks, such as French Creek and Old Hatchery Creek, illustrates the complex drainage basin feeding into the larger Umpqua system.
