About this map

Pistol River and the southern reaches of Gold Beach anchor this coastal survey, where the rugged Oregon shoreline meets the Pacific Ocean. The landscape is defined by its maritime geology, featuring prominent landmarks such as Cape Sebastian, Crook Point, and the offshore Hunters Island. These headlands and sea stacks, including Black Rock and Cave Rock, create a complex coastal profile that has long influenced local navigation and settlement.

Evidence of the region's timber-driven economy is visible through industrial water features like the Pistol River Log Pond and Evans Log Ponds. Inland, the terrain is carved by numerous drainages such as Hunter Creek and Myers Creek. For those researching local history or genealogy, the Pistol River Cemetery provides a specific point of interest within the small settlement at the river's mouth. The road network, including the coastal highway and Carpenterville Road, follows the contours of the rising coastal mountains.
