About this map

Yoncalla sits at the northern end of a series of interconnected valleys where the foothills of the Coast Range meet the interior Douglas County landscape. This modern survey illustrates the town's layout, centered around Main St and Cedar St, while the nearby Yoncalla Cem serves as a significant landmark for those researching local family histories. The terrain is defined by prominent heights like Skull Mtn and DeVore Mtn, which frame the agricultural and residential pockets of Hayhurst Valley and Pleasant Valley.

Water management is a central theme of the local geography, visible in the Bear Cr Reservoir to the northwest and the Thurman Weaver Reservoir further south near Rice Hill. The drainage patterns of Yoncalla Creek and Andrews Creek have historically guided the development of transport corridors through these gaps. The map records several named springs and canyons, such as Prince Albert Spgs and Blackberry Canyon, providing a detailed look at the rural character and land use of the region in the early twenty-first century.
