About this map

North Umpoua River carves a winding path through this Douglas County landscape, anchoring the historic communities of Winchester and Wilbur. During the late 1980s, the area reflects a transition from rural homesteads to more structured development, evidenced by the Corporate Boundary of Sutherlin expanding southward. The map details the local infrastructure of the era, from the sprawling campus of Umpqua Community College to the recreational waters of the Cooper Creek Reservoir.

Industrial activity is noted through scattered Quarry and Borrow Pit operations, while the surrounding terrain is defined by prominent peaks like Richards Butte and Winchester Baldy. Genealogists may find value in the small Cem sites and the specific locations of historic rail-aligned settlements such as Deady and Akin, providing a clear view of how transportation and topography shaped these Oregon communities.
