1987 Map of White Rock

About this map

North Myrtle Creek and South Myrtle Creek carve through the forested ridges of Douglas County in this provisional survey of the Umpqua National Forest. The landscape is defined by resource extraction and high-elevation water sources, featuring industrial landmarks like the Continental Mine and Overtain Mine, alongside several borrow pits and a Quarry. Local topography is anchored by prominent summits such as Riser Butte and Buck Butte, while the drainage network is supported by numerous named springs including White Rock Spring and Yellow Jacket Spring. A Weir located along the southern creek indicates managed water flow, characteristic of the era's focus on forest management and mineral exploration in this part of the Pacific Northwest.
