2023 Map of Tyee Mountain

About this map

Stephens and the surrounding timberlands of the Coast Range are defined by a complex network of ridges and drainages that have shaped local settlement for generations. The Umpqua River snakes through the northwest corner of the map, carving through the landscape near Little Canyon and feeding the local creek systems. This modern survey illustrates the rugged geography where the Tyee Mtn and Yellow Creek Mtn peaks overlook a pattern of valley-bottom roads and upland forest access trails. Family history is anchored in sites like Tyee View Cem and the Hurst Family Cem, situated near the southern reach of the quadrangle. The map reveals how the narrow drainages of Dodge Canyon and Coles Valley dictate the flow of travel and land use, with small-scale agriculture and rural residences clustered along Calapooya Creek and Cole Rd.
