About this map

Brookings and the community of Harbor define this coastal landscape at the mouth of the Chetco River in the mid-1980s. The map illustrates a developed shoreline where industrial and municipal infrastructure, such as the Sewage Treatment Plant and Water Treatment Plant, sit alongside extensive protected lands. The Chetco Cove coastline is heavily marked by rocky offshore features including Goat Island, Walrus Rocks, and Zwagg Island, all part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge.

Inland, the terrain rises sharply toward Black Mound and Red Mound, intersected by a network of drainages like Ransom Creek and Ferry Creek. Local aviation and recreation are prominent, centered on the Brookings Airport and the floral displays of Azalea State Park. The survey also captures the northern reach of Samuel H Boardman State Park near Cape Ferrelo, showing the early 1980s footprint of Highway 101 as it connects these seaside settlements.
