Calapooya Mountains The Calapooya Mountains are a short mountain range in southwestern Oregon in the United States. The range runs for approximately 60 mi (100 km) west from the Cascade Range between Eugene (N) and Roseburg (S). The range separates the basins of the Willamette River to the north with that of the Umpqua River to the south. The highest peaks in the range include Scott Mountain (elevation 4250 ft/1296 m) approximately 20 mi (32 km) northeast of Roseburg. The North Umpqua River flows along the southern edge of the range. The crest of the range is sometimes called the Calapooya Divide. (references)
