1944 Map of Empire

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Empire and the surrounding coastline of Coos Bay are captured here during World War II, revealing a landscape defined by its industrial maritime ties and the rugged Pacific edge. The map documents the vital infrastructure of the era, from the Pulp Mill and Quarry to the Arago L H lighthouse and the Coast Guard presence at C G Sta. Settlement is concentrated along the eastern shores of the bay and the sloughs, while the western peninsula is dominated by the topography of the Dunes and protected areas like Cape Arago State Park.
