About this map

The Umpqua River carves a deep, winding path through the timberlands of Douglas County, defining the settlement patterns of this mid-1980s landscape. Along its banks, the historic village of Scottsburg serves as a primary focal point, where a Historical Mon and the Scottsburg Cem anchor the community's heritage. The terrain is heavily influenced by large-scale public land management, with the Siuslaw National Forest bordering the western edge and the Elliott State Forest to the south.

Upland from the river, the geography is marked by distinct ridges like Golden Ridge and summits such as Fern Top. Water resources are plentiful beyond the main channel, including Wasson Lake and Burchard Lake, alongside numerous drainages like Wells Creek and Vincent Creek. The presence of a Quarry and a Substation near Greenacres indicates the local infrastructure and industry supporting this river-valley corridor during the late twentieth century.
