About this map

Coos Bay and its intricate network of waterways dominate this 2017 survey, where the Central Oregon & Pacific RR skirts the shoreline of Isthmus Slough. The coastal landscape is defined by deep-water channels like the Marshfield Channel and the winding Catching Slough, reflecting a community built around maritime commerce and timber transport. Smaller residential developments and neighborhoods such as Englewood, Eastside, and Millington are clustered along the inlets and ridges, while the southern reaches of the map transition into a more fragmented topography of gulches and sloughs.

Local history is preserved in numerous family and organizational landmarks, including the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem near Telegraph Hill and the Sumner Pioneer Cem to the southeast. The map details important infrastructure crossing these tidal waters, from the Coos City Bridge to the Lone Tree Bridge at Sumner. Public spaces like Mingus Park and Sunset Memorial Park provide green space amidst the industrial and residential corridors of this Pacific Northwest port city.
