About this map

The North Umpqua River snakes through the center of this landscape, creating a distinct oxbow at Whistlers Bend and supporting the Whistlers Bend Reservoir. This 2014 survey captures the rural character of Douglas County, where small airfields like Hilltop Airport and Umpqua Airport serve the scattered communities. The terrain is marked by significant peaks, including Jack Mtn and Bald Mtn, which overlook the deep drainages of Sutherlin Cr and Oak Cr.

Family history and local heritage are anchored by the Oak Creek Cem and the small settlements of Oak Creek Valley, Glide, and Singleton Valley. The map detail shows a network of logging and access roads, such as Singleton Rd and various Bureau of Land Management routes, weaving through the timbered canyons like Fraser Canyon and Smith Canyon. The connection between the river corridor and the upland valley settlements illustrates the enduring reliance on the North Umpqua waterway for geography and transport.
