About this map

The Coquille River meets the Pacific Ocean at this coastal crossroads, where the northern edge of Bandon and the riverfront community of Bullards serve as key landmarks. This 1970 snapshot of the Oregon coast illustrates a landscape defined by its unique wetlands and natural resources, featuring numerous Cranberry Bogs scattered near the shoreline. Historically significant sites such as the Bullards Cem and the Bullards Bridge provide essential points of reference for genealogists and local historians tracking family roots along the river's lower reaches.

Further north, the terrain transitions into a series of lakes, including Chrome Lake and Round Lake, tucked behind the extensive Sand Dunes. The presence of several Gravel Pit locations and the designated Bullards Beach State Park reflects the 1970s balance between industrial extraction and public recreation. From the heights of Seven Devils to the offshore profile of Coquille Rock, the map documents a shoreline shaped by both maritime commerce and coastal topography.
