About this map

The settlement of Dellwood serves as a small hub at the northern edge of this coastal Oregon landscape, situated where the South Fork Coos River winds through several distinctive river features. Names like Contrary Bend, Wee House Hole, and Myrtle Tree Hole suggest a legacy of local lore and river-based industry, while Bull Pasture indicates a history of livestock grazing in the river bottoms.

Dividing the northern and southern watersheds is the prominent Blue Ridge, which separates the tributaries of the Coos from the North Fork Coquille River basin to the south. The drainage network is dense, with family-named or descriptive features like Daniels Creek, Gillis Creek, and Stock Slough providing clear landmarks for genealogists. To the southeast, the terrain descends toward Laverne Falls along the riverbanks, where roads like Laverne Park North Rd and Fairview Rd connect the scattered creek-side communities.
