1970 Map of Charleston

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Coos Bay and the coastal village of Charleston dominate this coastal survey, where the Pacific tide cycles through South Slough and Joe Ney Slough. The landscape reflects a specialized maritime and research economy, featuring the Oreg Inst of Marine Biology (Univ of Oreg) and a significant US Naval Facility at Coos Head. Along the rocky coastline, the Cape Arago Lighthouse stands watch near Gregory Point, while inland, the topography is carved by numerous drainages like Hayward Creek and Seven Devils Creek. The map documents a transition from industrial and military utility to conservation and agriculture, marked by the extensive Cranberry Bogs near Barview and protected acreage within Sunset Bay State Park and Shore Acres State Park. To the south, the deep woods of the Coos County Forest are accessed by a network of Jeep Trails and pack paths.
