About this map

The South Fork Coos River and the North Fork Coquille River define the hydraulic character of this timber-rich region in the Coast Range. In the early 1970s, small settlements like Dellwood and the vicinity of the Coos River Sch near Landrith Bridge served as focal points for the local community. The landscape is heavily structured by logging and resource management, with large tracts dedicated to the Elliott State Forest and the Coos County Forest.

Transport through these steep drainages relied on a network of Jeep Trails and the older Bay Wagon Road, which cuts across the southern portion of the sheet. Notable landmarks like Blue Ridge and the recreational grounds of Laverne County Park at Laverne Falls provide distinct topographical and social anchors. Genealogists and historians can trace numerous named drainages, such as Matson Creek, Smith Creek, and Vogel Creek, which often correlate with early family landholdings and timber claims.
