2011 Map of Dora

About this map

The small settlement of Dora serves as the focal point for this survey of the Oregon Coast Range foothills, situated where the East Fork Coquille River meets a complex network of timber and access roads. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, including Cherry Creek Ridge and the prominent Sheeps Head summit to the south. Historically significant landmarks such as the McKinley Cemetery and the localized geography of Brewster Canyon and Brewster Valley provide valuable context for family historians and local researchers. The area's dedication to recreation and conservation is evident in the presence of the Middle Creek Recreation Area, the 4H Camp, and the Big Tree Natural Area. Numerous watercourses, including Cherry Creek, Middle Creek, and Elk Creek, drain these high ridges, reflecting the drainage patterns of the Coos County interior.
