About this map

The South Umpqua River carves a deep path through the Douglas County hills, defining the settlement patterns and transport corridors for Myrtle Creek and its neighboring communities. This 2020 survey documents the town's position at the confluence of Myrtle Cr and the river, showing a landscape where modern development and local history remain intertwined. Genealogists can find several established burial grounds, including the Myrtle Creek Pioneer Cem and the IOOF Cem, while the Neal Lane Bridge provides a vital link over the water.

North of the main town site, the terrain rises toward Roberts Mtn and Gobblers Knob, creating secluded pockets like Rainbow Hollow and Round Prairie. Small clusters of homes at Weaver and Missouri Bottom sit along the river's eastern bank, illustrating how the area’s topography has channeled growth into the narrow valley floor while leaving the surrounding summits largely to timber and cattle lands.
