2023 Map of Bridge

About this map

The confluence of the North Fork Coquille River and the East Fork Coquille River anchors the northern reaches of this Coos County landscape, where the small settlement of Gravelvford sits along the winding valley floor. To the south, the village of Bridge and the outskirts of Myrtle Point serve as centers for the surrounding timber and ranching country. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Sugarloaf Mtn, Schneider Butte, and Anderson Mtn, while a complex network of creeks like Weekly Creek and McMullen Creek feeds the larger river system. For family historians, the sheet is exceptionally detailed with burial sites, including the Gravelvford Cem, Garrett Cem, Brack Cem, and Brewer Cem. These locations, many situated on hillsides overlooking the water, provide a clear record of the area's early homesteading patterns and the enduring connections between families and the land.
