2011 Map of Floras Lake

About this map

Floras Lake sits at the edge of this coastal landscape, separated from the vast Pacific Ocean by a narrow strip of land. This coastal environment is defined by the meeting of freshwater and saltwater, where the shoreline is punctuated by prominent geological features including Tower Rock and the headland at Blacklock Point. The map illustrates the sparsely developed nature of this stretch of the Coos County coast in the early twenty-first century, focusing on the natural contours and hydrography where the land yields to the sea. The area south of the lake remains dominated by these natural landmarks, offering a clear view of the shoreline before it transitions into the offshore waters of the Pacific.
