Myrtle Creek

Myrtle Creek has served as a settlement in southern Oregon since the mid-19th century. The city stands where Myrtle Creek joins the South Umpqua River, in Douglas County’s broad river valley. Its name recalls Oregon myrtle, an evergreen tree also known as California laurel, once found along the creek. Interstate 5 passes through the community, while the surrounding Umpqua country combines working valleys with forested foothills. Incorporated in 1891, Myrtle Creek retains a long-established civic identity in the region. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Myrtle Creek and the South Umpqua Valley.
