Steamboat, Douglas County, Oregon
Steamboat is an
Steamboat Creek within the Umpqua National Forest.[2]
The name "Steamboat" was probably first applied to the creek sometime before the 1890s by area gold miners, after a term referring to disappointing mining claims.[3] There is no evidence any actual steamboats navigated the river at this locale.[3]
