2017 Map of Bridge

About this map

The North Fork Coquille River and Middle Fork Coquille River converge in this rugged section of Coos County, defining a landscape of deep drainages and prominent peaks. Small riverfront communities like Gravelford and Bridge occupy narrow valley floors, while family history is etched into the terrain at sites like the Old Myrtle Point Cem and Garrett Cem. The map reveals a complex network of timber and access roads, including Gravelford Rd and Myrtle Point-Cooper Bridge Rd, which navigate between summits such as Sugarloaf Mtn and Schneider Butte. This survey highlights the traditional reliance on the river forks for orientation and settlement, contrasting the industrial logging infrastructure with isolated pioneer landmarks like Brack Cem and Mullen Spring.
