In 1846 Jesse and Lindsay Applegate, Levi Scott, and 13 companions explored a new route from the central Willamette Valley through Douglas County, California, and Nevada that connected with the California Trail. The California Trail branched from the Oregon Trail at Fort Hall, Idaho. Interstate 5 closely parallels the Applegate Trail through much of Douglas County including the route along Canyon Creek.

Located at the confluence of Calapooya Creek and the Umpqua River, there is a park and place now commemorating the fort and its builders. Mill-Pine is a residential neighborhood in the city of Roseburg platted by the city's founder Aaron Rose in 1887. It represents the development of working class housing primarily for employees of the railroad. This historic site is where the Molalla, a band of the Umpqua Indians, had a major fishery taking salmon and steelhead. Here the North Umpqua River gouged out a very narrow canyon one-quarter mile long with steep walls and a deep channel alternating with rapids.
