About this map

Lakeside and the surrounding coastal landscape of Coos and Douglas counties are defined by a complex network of freshwater lakes separated from the Pacific Ocean by a narrow strip of forested dunes. This 2017 study captures the community at the junction of Tenmile Lake and N Tenmile Lake, where the shoreline is deeply etched into numerous fingers such as Blacks Arm, Lindros Arm, and Shutter Arm. This branching aquatic geography creates a unique residential pattern where many properties are oriented toward the water rather than a traditional street grid.

Inland, the Siuslaw National Forest encompasses the eastern hills, while the coastal corridor follows the path of U.S. 101 past the settlement of Saunders Lake. Local infrastructure including the Lakeside Municipal Airport and the Lakeside Cem are mapped alongside natural features like Eel Lake and Clear Lake. The presence of McKeown Reservoir and Butterfield Lake further emphasizes the hydrology that has shaped the recreation and settlement of this Oregon Coast region.
