1955 Map of Tyee

About this map

The Umpua River meanders deeply through this Douglas County landscape, forming sharp oxbows near the small settlement of Tyee and the community of Millwood. This mid-century survey reveals a terrain defined by high summits and observation points, including Kelly Butte and Green Peak, alongside the Bateman Lookout and Baughman Lookout. The river's path is the primary corridor for regional activity, providing access to recreational areas like James Wood Park and Mack Brown Park. To the east, Coles Valley offers a departure from the steep ridgelines like Knife Ridge and Bear Ridge that dominate the western portion of the map. Traces of local industry and infrastructure are visible through a Quarry near the northern boundary and numerous Jeep Trails that penetrate the high country near Hawkins Lake and Lost Lake.
