About this map

Depoe Bay sits at the center of this 1984 coastal survey, revealing a landscape defined by the intersection of the Pacific Ocean and the steep terrain of the Oregon Coast Range. The map details the intricate shoreline of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge, where sea stacks and rocky outcrops like Gull Rock and Rabbit Rock dot the surf. Inland, the development of coastal infrastructure is evident through the presence of a Sub Station, a Train Depot, and the Depoe Bay Reservoir.

A network of 4WD trails climbs the ridgelines east of town, weaving through the drainages of North Fork Depoe Bay Creek and South Fork Depoe Bay Creek. Local landmarks such as Cape Foulweather and Boiler Bay are captured alongside several state parks and waysides, reflecting the mid-century growth of public lands and recreation in Lincoln Beach and its surroundings. The eastern portion of the quadrangle transitions into the steep timberlands above the Siletz River.
