2017 Map of Myrtle Creek

About this map

The South Umpqua River carves a winding path through this Douglas County landscape, anchoring the developed corridor of Myrtle Creek and Tri-City. This 2017 survey details the complex terrain where the river meets Missouri Bottom and is flanked by prominent elevations like Roberts Mtn and Gobblers Knob. For genealogists and local historians, the map serves as a precise guide to several burial sites, including the Myrtle Creek Pioneer Cem and the Myrtle Creek IOOF Cem, as well as the Burnett Cem near Round Prairie. The map also captures the area's timber industry legacy, specifically naming the Engles and Worth Log Pond. Transport infrastructure is well-defined, from the Neal Lane Bridge to the network of ridge roads like Bilger Ridge Spr that penetrate the high country east of the river valley.
