About this map

English Settlement and the surrounding timberlands of Douglas County are documented here in this 2011 topographic record. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Calapooya Creek and its many tributaries, including Oldham Creek and Long Valley Creek, which carve through the prominent elevations of Robinson Ridge and Hall Ridge. The human footprint in this part of Oregon is sparse but deeply rooted, evidenced by several family and community burial grounds such as Harvey Cemetery, Fair Oaks Cemetery, and Sutherlin Cemetery.

Agricultural and ranching operations like the Flying D Ranch are interspersed between the valleys of Driver Valley and Fraser Canyon. Water management is central to the area's geography, with Platt 1 Reservoir and Denley Reservoir serving as key landmarks. The map also traces a network of logging and access roads, such as Nonpareil Rd and Elkhead Rd, which connect the small settlements of Fair Oaks and Nonpareil.
