2020 Map of China Flat

About this map

The South Fork Coquille River winds through this section of the Siskiyou National Forest, carving a deep valley through the mountains of Coos County. Settled activity is concentrated in the northern corridor near Powers Airport, where historical family roots are anchored at the Norris Family Cem and Hayes Cem. The landscape is defined by its drainages and high points, including Johnson Mtn and the prominent Eden Ridge to the southeast. Named clearings like Flannigan Prairie and topographical curiosities such as Fuzzy Gulch and Poverty Gulch suggest a history of early mountaineering, prospecting, or homesteading. The namesake China Flat sits tucked along the river, accessible via winding forest routes like Johnson Mountain Rd.
