About this map

Tiller sits at the confluence of several vital waterways in the South Umpqua Valley, serving as a focal point for this Douglas County region. The community is anchored by the Tiller Post Office near the bend of the South Umpqua River, where Elk Creek, Cole Creek, and Hatchet Creek converge. The landscape is defined by its water management and forestry infrastructure, including the Joseph Reed Dam and its reservoir, and the Callahan Lookout positioned atop Callahan Ridge.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the dispersed rural settlements and burial sites like Rainville Cemetery, Rondeau Cemetery, and Coffee Creek Cemetery. The transition from the river valley to higher ground is marked by features like Callahan Meadows and Rondeau Butte. The map documents a network of Bureau of Land Management and National Forest roads, such as BLM 16 0 RD and NFD 082 RD, which provide access to family-named landmarks like Brown Ranch and Lucas Ranch.
