About this map

Gold Beach and Wedderburn anchor this coastal landscape where the Rogue River meets the Pacific Ocean. The settlement pattern follows the river's path and the shoreline, with industry and infrastructure visible in features like the Gold Beach Boat Launch, Gold Beach Municipal Airport, and the Curry County Fairgrounds. Further south, the community of Hunter Creek sits near the Evans Log Ponds, reflecting the area's timber and transport history.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites, including the Geisel Cemetery to the north, Pioneer Cemetery, and the Rogue Cemetery. The interior is marked by landmarks such as Tomcat Hill and Big Prairie, while the river itself reveals navigational points like Ferry Hole Bar and Johns Hole. Numerous small coastal features, from Hubbard Mound to Otter Point, trace the transition from the marine environment to the foothills of the Coast Range.
