About this map

The South Umpqua River snakes through this portion of Douglas County, serving as the primary corridor for settlements like Tiller and Milo. In the late 1980s, this area of the Umpqua National Forest shows a landscape defined by forestry and small-scale resource extraction, featuring a Ranger Sta, a Heliport, and several active or historical sites like the Graham Placer Mines and various quarries.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of the Coffee Creek Cem, Rondeau Cemetery, and Rainville Cemetery, which are scattered among the steep terrain of Callahan Ridge and Rondeau Butte. The network of 4wd roads and trails provides a look at the backcountry accessibility of the era, reaching into remote corners like the Dampier Slide Area and the Drew School site along Drew Creek.
