2011 Map of Scottsburg

About this map

The Umpqua River carves a deep path through the Douglas County timberlands, anchoring the small communities of Scottsburg and Green Acres. This riverside environment is defined by its steep terrain, including Golden Ridge and Franklin Ridge, which rise sharply above the water. The map traces the historical infrastructure of the area, centered around the Scottsburg Post Office and the Scottsburg Cemetery, providing a clear look at the valley's settlement patterns. The river itself is punctuated by Rock Island, a notable landmark in the current of the Umpqua. Numerous drainages such as Wasson Creek, Vincent Creek, and Mill Creek feed into the main river system from the high country, while small lakes like Wasson Lake and Burchard Lake are tucked into the upland basins. The network of timber roads, including Wells Creek Rd and Scottsburg West Rd, follows the natural contours of the ridges and creek beds.
