◎ DISTRICT INTELLIGENCE
LAND HISTORY AND NEWS — LAYER B

Douglas County's southwestern Oregon mining belt — less famous than Josephine County but equally auriferous — includes the Canyonville and Drain areas with historic placer operations along the Umpqua River and tributaries. Quartz lodes and stream terraces suggest similar mineralization to the more-developed Rogue River system. Modern prospecting has identified overlooked paleochannel deposits in tributary valleys. The BLM Eugene District administers federal claims; this region remains underexplored relative to Josephine County's reputation.
