About this map

Empire serves as a focal point along the eastern shore of the Coos River, illustrating the industrial and civic layout of this coastal Oregon community during the early 21st century. The map details a mix of residential streets and essential services, including the Empire Post Office and the Empire Cemetery. To the south, the Ocean View Memorial Gardens and Radar Hill provide geographical context to the town's expansion.

The coastal landscape is dominated by the North Spit, which separates the Pacific Ocean from the inland waterways. This area reveals a diverse economy and recreational environment, featuring the Roseburg Lumber Chip Facility Airstrip alongside sites like Wild Mare Horse Camp. Water features are abundant, from the Hungryman Cove and Sitka Dock to several inland bodies of water such as Bluebill Lake and Upper Empire Lake, reflecting the region's deep connection to both maritime industry and the natural environment.
