1944 Map of Empire

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Coos Bay and the Pacific coastline define this wartime-era survey of the Oregon coast, showing a landscape dominated by timber, maritime activity, and family ranching. The settlement of Empire serves as a primary hub alongside Charleston and Barview, while the rugged shoreline is protected by Cape Arago State Park and Coos Head State Park. Inland, the map reveals a network of coastal sloughs and creeks, including South Slough and Joe Ney Slough, which provided vital access for early commerce.
