About this map

The Pacific coastline and the complex inlets of Coos Bay define this coastal landscape at Charleston. This survey captures the intricate waterway network of the South Slough and Joe-Ney Slough, where tidal influences meet the land at points like Crown Point and Long Island Point. The settlement of Charleston is shown as a key hub near the Entrance Range, supported by local infrastructure like the South Slough Cem and a network of coastal roads including the Cape Arago Hwy.

Geological features such as Mussel Reef, Tunnel Point, and the sandy expanse of Bastendorff Beach illustrate the transition from the open Pacific Ocean to the sheltered waters of the bay. Inland, the topography rises toward Yoakam Hill, while managed water resources are evident in the Tarheel Reservoir and Upper Pony Cr Reservoir. The map provides a clear record of the intersection between residential growth in Barview and the natural drainage of Winchester Creek and Talbott Slough.
