About this map

The North Umpqua River carves a winding path through this Douglas County landscape, serving as a focal point for settlement and industry. Near the river's bend, the community of Winchester is anchored by the Winchester Post Office and the Winchester Reservoir, while the presence of the Mar-Linn Timber Corporation Log Pond further north highlights the region's historical ties to the timber industry. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Winchester Baldy and Echo Butte, which overlook the river valley and the smaller drainage of Dixon Creek.

Further north along the rail and road corridor, the map reveals the small settlements of Wilbur and Redbell. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Wilbur Cemetery and Otey Cemetery, both situated west of the primary transit lines. The northern edge of the sheet is defined by the Cooper Creek Reservoir, while the winding Sutherlin Creek parallels the highway, illustrating the intersection of natural waterways and modern infrastructure in the early 21st century.
