About this map

The Umpqua River carves a dramatic, winding path through this Douglas County landscape, creating distinctive river features like Baskett Point, Powell Bar, and Myrtle Island. The settlement of Tyee sits at a major bend in the river, serving as a focal point for the surrounding network of timber and access roads, including Tyee Rd and the Tyee Access Rd. Further south, the community of Millwood is situated near the Rinaldi Reservoir and Beaver Pond.

Ridgelines such as Case Knife Ridge and Rattlesnake Ridge define the steep topography away from the river banks. The land is heavily partitioned by Bureau of Land Management routes, such as BLM RD 25-8-1.0, reflecting the area's significance for forest management and resource access. Small tributaries like Little Wolf Cr and Hubbard Cr drain the high country, feeding into the primary river system that dominates the local geography.
