About this map

The Umpqua River carves through a deeply ridged landscape in this 2017 study of the terrain northwest of Sutherlin. The map reveals a network of ridges and canyons, most notably Spooner Ridge, Galagher Ridge, and Tyee Mountain. This area is marked by its legacy of land management and family history, evidenced by the Hurst Family Cem and Tyee View Cem located in the southern sections.

Transport through the steep elevation is facilitated by routes like Tyee Rd and crossings such as Bullock Bridge. The settlement at Stephens sits at the confluence of the upland drainage and the lower reaches of Calapooya Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the complex hydrology of the region, from the narrow Little Canyon Cr to the broader Green Valley, reflecting how the geography has dictated the placement of local roads and homesteads.
