Original Public Land Survey ("P.L.S.") field notes are being compiled for the South Umpqua River basin and made available for research and education purposes in conjunction with the 2010 Upper South Umpqua Headwaters Precontact Reference Conditions Study. These notes were made available, and this project made possible, with the cooperation and great assistance provided by the Douglas County Surveyors Office.

The P.L.S. field notes were compiled by US General Land Office ("GLO") surveyors from 1857 until 1938 and are confined at this time to the 18 partial and complete legal townships that comprise the 2010 study area. The following table of references lists the surveyors who compiled the field notes, the year the survey was completed, a general title or description of the survey area, and the contract number and date that the survey was performed under.
