About this map

The South Umpqua River carves a winding path through this Douglas County landscape, defining the development of Winston and Dillard. This 1987 provisional survey shows the region's transition from the river-bottom settlements to the steep timbered slopes of Roberts Mountain and Swan Hill. The river's horseshoe-shaped Civil Bend serves as a focal point for local industry and recreation, with the Winston-Dillard County Park situated along the northern bank.

Smaller outlying communities like Brockway and Lookingglass are captured alongside a dense network of named drainages including Lookingglass Creek and Rice Creek. For researchers, the map identifies specific land use markers such as a Gravel Pit, a Quarry, and a Cem near Dillard. The numerous creek-side features like Rainbow Hollow and Big Baldy illustrate the diverse topography of the Umpqua Valley's southern reaches during the late twentieth century.
