1987 Map of Roseburg East

About this map

The South Fork Umpqua River winds through this Douglas County landscape, serving as a primary corridor for both transportation and community development. By the late 1980s, Roseburg had expanded its municipal footprint with significant infrastructure, including the Municipal Airport and the VA Hospital. The presence of the Southern Pacific railroad and Interstate 5 underscores the area's role as a regional transit hub, while smaller outlying settlements like Green, Roberts, and Glengary retain their distinct identities. Cultural and recreational sites are well-represented, from the County Fairgrounds to the Drive in Theater south of town. The surrounding terrain is marked by numerous quarries and significant elevations like Burg Mountain and Mount Rose, highlighting the intersection of industrial resource extraction and the residential expansion of the Oregon interior.
