1954 Map of Cape Blanco

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Cape Blanco projects boldly into the Pacific Ocean on this mid-century survey, serving as a critical navigational waypoint marked by its historic Lighthouse and a Coast Guard Res. The coastal landscape is defined by the complex maritime hazards of Blanco Reef and Orford Reef, where numerous named rocks like Arch Rock and Steamboat Rock dot the offshore waters. Inland, the geography reveals a specialized agricultural economy with several Cranberry Bogs situated near the Sixes River. To the north, Newburgh State Park encompasses the area around Floras Lake, while the southern edge of the map reaches the outskirts of Port Orford near Garrison L. The presence of an Airport and a Radio Tower reflect the era's infrastructure supporting both local transit and coastal monitoring during the early 1950s.
