2017 Map of Tiller

About this map

The South Umpqua River carves through the heart of this Douglas County landscape, anchoring the settlement of Tiller at the junction of several key mountain drainages. This 2017 survey details a region dominated by the Umpqua National Forest, where the topography is defined by prominent elevations such as Rondeau Butte and O'Neill Butte. The map reflects a rural economy and history tied to the land, shown through numerous forest development roads and the presence of small, family-named burial sites including Coffee Creek Cem and Rainville Cem. The winding course of the river is complemented by smaller water bodies and human-made features like the Joseph Reed Reservoir and Heart Lake. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the community of Drew sits along Elk Cr, positioned between Callahan Ridge and the heights of Devils Knob.
