1954 Map of Cape Ferrelo

About this map

Brookings and Harbor anchor the southern coastline of Curry County where the Chetco River meets the Pacific Ocean. This 1954 survey captures the coastal development along Highway 101 and the rugged interior defined by the Siskiyou National Forest. The landscape is a transition between the dense forest and the rocky Pacific shore, featuring prominent landmarks like Cape Ferrelo and Goat Island. Significant recreation areas including Harris Beach State Park and Azalea State Park are established here, while the northern reaches show smaller settlements like Carpenterville and Thomas. The mapping of Numerous creeks, such as Whalehead Creek and Spruce Creek, illustrates the drainage patterns from high points like Hog Mtn and Mt Italy toward the sea.
