About this map

Coos Bay is defined by a complex network of tidal waterways and industrial landscape features along the Oregon coast. The city center is organized around Telegraph Hill and Mingus Park Lake, with the deep-water Marshfield Channel facilitating maritime activity. The landscape is deeply carved by sloughs, including the prominent Isthmus Slough and Catching Slough, which separate established neighborhoods like Eastside, Bunker Hill, and Englewood.

Genealogists will find several significant burial sites documented, such as the Order of Odd Fellows Cem and the Sumner Pioneer Cem located further south near the community of Sumner. The map also reveals the region's industrial footprint through features like the C A Smith-Hard M Company Storage Reservoir and numerous named gulches and inlets, reflecting a history of timber and resource management that shaped these coastal settlements.
