1943 Map of Bandon

About this map

The Coquille River serves as the central artery for this coastal landscape during the early 1940s, winding past established settlements like Bullards, Prosper, and Riverton. Along the river's mouth stands the historic Coquille River L H, a critical landmark for maritime navigation near the town of Bandon. The map reveals a transitioning industrial base where coastal mining for heavy minerals is evident at the Seven Devils Mine, while operations at the Eagle Mine Abandoned and Pioneer Mine Abandoned have already ceased.
