1954 Map of Cape Blanco

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The westernmost point of the contiguous United States is defined here by Cape Blanco, where the Cape Blanco Lighthouse stands as a sentinel over a complex maritime landscape. This mid-century coastal survey reveals the agricultural and topographical character of the Curry County shoreline, particularly the Cranberry Bogs that dot the lowlands between the Sixes River and Elk River. The map meticulously details the offshore hazards of the Blanco Reef and Orford Reef, naming numerous sea stacks such as Arch Rock, Steamboat Rock, and Tower Rock. Inland, the settlement at Newburgh and the northern edge of Port Orford anchor the local road network, while the freshwater basins of Floras Lake and Garrison L provide a sharp contrast to the nearby Pacific Ocean.
