About this map

Tiller sits at the confluence where the South Fork Umpqua River meets several mountain drainages, serving as a hub for both the Umpqua National Forest and local industrial operations. By the late 1990s, the landscape reflects a complex management of natural resources, indicated by the Tiller Ranger Station, a Substation, and a Heliport. The surrounding terrain is marked by significant extractive history, including the Graham Placer Mines along the western creeks and numerous quarries scattered through the high ridges.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial sites, such as Coffee Creek Cem, Rondeau Cemetery, and Rainville Cemetery, which are spaced along the river and its tributaries. The presence of the Drew School and the Dompier Slide Area highlights the intersection of community infrastructure with the volatile geology of Callahan Ridge. These details provide a clear view of the region's development before twenty-first-century changes.
