1954 Map of Sutherlin

About this map

The Umpqua River and South Umpqua River converge here, anchoring a landscape where the Southern Pacific and Camas Logging RR define the mid-century transportation network. In the heart of Douglas County, the town of Oakland sits north of Sutherlin, showing the early 1950s infrastructure of the Pacific Highway. The rural character of the area is evident in the scattered schools and places of worship, such as the Garden Valley Sch and Umpqua Ch, which served the farming and timber communities along the valleys.
