About this map

The Umpqua River winds through the northwestern corner of this Douglas County landscape, crossed by the Bullock Bridge at Little Canyon. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations including Tyee Mountain, Yellow Creek Mtn, and Spooner Ridge, which divide the drainages of Yellow Cr, Williams Cr, and Dodge Canyon Cr. This network of steep ridges and deep draws, such as Galagher Canyon, historically dictated the path of the valley roads and the placement of small rural outposts.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by the settlement at Stephens in the southeast, positioned near the confluence of Calapooya Creek. The map records the presence of the Hurst Family Cem and the Tyee View Cem, providing essential markers for researchers of the area's early families. Modern infrastructure is represented by Or-138, which follows the contours of the Dodge Canyon drainage, connecting these remote valley communities.
