About this map

The North Fork Coquille River and Middle Fork Coquille River converge in this section of Coos County, creating a landscape defined by waterway junctions and valley settlements. The community of Gravelford sits at the northern confluence, while Myrtle Point occupies the western edge of the map, serving as a hub for the surrounding timber and agricultural lands. This survey is particularly useful for genealogical research, as it identifies several family and community burial sites including Garrett Cem, Brack Cem, and the Old Myrtle Point Cem.

Transport through the valley relies on historically established crossings like Crosby Bridge and Cooper Bridge. The terrain rises sharply away from the river bottoms toward significant heights such as Anderson Mtn and Sugarloaf Mtn, with local access provided by a network of rural routes like Sitkum Ln and Weekly Creek Rd. Small landmarks such as Brights Spring and Mullen Spring indicate the essential water sources for the homesteads and farms scattered throughout the drainage basins of Weekly Cr and McMullen Cr.
