About this map

The South-Umpqua River carves a winding path through this Douglas County landscape, anchoring the community of Myrtle Creek. In the early 21st century, the town serves as a local hub, maintaining its connection to the surrounding hills and waterways. Local heritage is preserved at the Myrtle Creek Pioneer Cemetery and the Myrtle Creek IOOF Cemetery, while the Myrtle Creek Post Office remains a central landmark for the township.

Upland from the river valley, the terrain is marked by significant elevations like Roberts Mountain and Gobblers Knob, which look down upon smaller settlements such as Round Prairie and Weaver. The area's educational history is noted at the Boomer Hill School to the southwest. Transport through the canyon is defined by the proximity of modern transit to historical paths, including the Old Highway 99 S and various logging routes like Old Logging Rd that reach into the drainages of North Myrtle Creek and Richardson Creek.
