About this map

Calapooya Creek and its many tributaries wind through this Douglas County landscape, where the small community of Fair Oaks is established at the intersection of several local routes. The presence of the Bonanza Mine and Bonanza Mines in the southern hills points to the region's mineral history, while the surrounding terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Ben More Mtn and Hall Ridge. Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of Fair-Oaks Cem and Sutherlin Cem, which anchor the local family history of the area.

Transportation through the valleys is facilitated by a network of established roads like Nonpareil Rd and Driver Valley Rd, as well as the specialized Flying D Ranch Airport. The map documents a classic Oregon landscape of alternating ridges and swales, including the broad Camas Swale and the narrow Fraser Canyon, providing a look at how settlement patterns followed the natural drainage of Sutherlin Creek and Oldham Creek.
