The Empire district and the western reaches of North Bend and Coos Bay meet where the industrial shoreline transitions into the protected landscape of the Siuslaw National Forest. This contemporary geography is defined by the massive North Spit landform, which shields the bay from the Pacific Ocean and creates a unique wetland environment featuring Henderson Marsh and Hungryman Cove. For local historians and genealogists, the map provides precise locations for the Empire Cem and Ocean View Memorial Gardens, alongside the infrastructure of the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport. The terrain rises toward Radar Hill and the Empire Range, while recreation trails like the Bull Run Ohv Trail and Wildmare Horse Trl thread through the dunes and lakes of the forest interior.
