1970 Map of Bandon

About this map

The Coquille River meets the Pacific Ocean at the town of Bandon, where the local economy and landscape are shaped by coastal agriculture and marine navigation. Numerous Cranberry Bogs dot the lowlands south of the town center, particularly around Johnson Creek and Crooked Creek, illustrating the area's specialized farming history. Near the river mouth, a Lighthouse and the Lifeboat Station US Coast Guard Reservation emphasize the importance of the harbor entrance, while offshore, the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge encompasses distinctive sea stacks like Face Rock and Haystack Rock. Further south, the map details smaller settlements and rural landmarks such as Laurel Grove and the Millard Sch, alongside natural features like Bradley Lake and the extensive Sand Dunes within Bandon State Park.
