1990 Map of Tyee

About this map

The Umpqua River snakes through the heart of this Douglas County landscape, creating a series of dramatic bends and river bars that defined the local geography as it was recorded in the late 1980s. Small settlements like Tyee and Millwood serve as anchors along the riverbanks, where the waterway's power is evidenced by features such as Myrtle Island, Powell Bar, and Branton Bar. The terrain is characterized by steep rises, notably Agony Ridge and Wolf Ridge, which separate the river valley from a dense network of tributaries including Wolf Creek, Agony Creek, and Rattlesnake Creek.
