About this map

The South Umpqua River defines the western corridor of this landscape, anchoring the city of Roseburg and the southern settlements of Oaks, Shady Point, and Green. This area is marked by a significant concentration of local heritage sites, including the Roseburg Masonic Cem, Roseburg IOOF Cem, and the Douglas County Cem. These sites, along with the Roseburg Catholic Cem, provide a rich resource for genealogists tracing the early residents of the Umpqua Valley.

Transportation and industry are prominent, with the Central Oregon & Pacific RR paralleling the river and several log ponds, such as the Sun Studs Log Pond and Umpqua Log Pond, indicating the local timber economy. The topography rises sharply from the river valley toward Mt Nebo and Mt Rose, eventually reaching the higher elevations of Burg Mtn to the east. Water resources like Melton Reservoir and Deer Creek support the diverse needs of this growing Douglas County hub.
