About this map

Umpqua Nat For dominates this mid-century survey of Douglas County, revealing a landscape defined by forest management and outdoor recreation. The network of service outposts, including the Rock Cr Guard Sta and Wolf Creek Guard Sta, alongside several shelters like Pass Cr Shelter and Canton Shelter, suggests the vital role of the forest service in maintaining these mountain corridors. At higher elevations, landmarks such as Huckleberry Lookout and Mace Mtn overlook a complex drainage system fed by the North Fork and Steamboat Creek.

Evidence of early habitation and resource use appears at Old Fairview and a Quarry near the North Umpqua River. Transportation is anchored by State Highway 138, which follows the river's winding path past Richard G Baker Park and the Smith Springs Campground. The presence of several backcountry camps, such as Scaredman Camp, reflects the area's transition into a destination for recreational fishing and camping during the post-war era.
