1954 Map of Cape Blanco

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Cape Blanco anchors this mid-century coastal survey, marking the westernmost point of the Oregon coastline. The landscape is defined by the agricultural and navigational infrastructure of Curry County in the 1950s, with multiple Cranberry Bogs situated just inland from the rugged shoreline. Significant maritime and aviation landmarks are present, including the Lighthouse and Radio Tower within the Coast Guard Res, alongside the Curry Co Airport and its associated Beacon. The coastal waters are heavily detailed, showing the complex hazards of Blanco Reef and Orford Reef, where named hazards like Best Rock, Arch Rock, and Steamboat Rock dot the Pacific Ocean. On land, the Sixes River and Elk River cut through the coastal plain, while Newburgh State Park preserves the area north of the cape.
