2020 Map of Empire

About this map

The district of Empire serves as a focal point along the eastern shore of Coos Bay, revealing a landscape where coastal infrastructure meets the preserved wilds of the Siuslaw National Forest. This 2020 survey details the expansion of residential street grids alongside significant local landmarks such as Ocean View Memorial Gardens and the historic Empire Cem. The map illustrates the specialized recreational use of the region, specifically along the North Spit, where the Coast Guard-S-Ohv-Trail and Bull Run Ohv Trail wind through the dunes and marshes near Horsfall Lake. To the north, the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport marks the transition into North Bend, while the interior is dotted with coastal water bodies like Bluebill Lake and Jordan Lake, providing a detailed look at the interface between the Pacific Ocean and the industrial and maritime centers of the bay.
