About this map

The Pacific Ocean dominates this offshore survey along the Oregon coast in Curry County. This map documents a stretch of the shoreline just west of the mainland, primarily focusing on the marine environment and coastal hazards. A prominent navigational marker, Fox Rock, sits alone in the southeastern corner of the quadrangle, representing one of the few emergent geological features in this maritime area. The survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey using National Hydrography Dataset information, serves to delineate the boundary between the open sea and the immediate coastal waters, providing a clear record of the near-shore topography as it appeared in the early 21st century.
