1985 Map of Lakeside

About this map

Tenmile Lake and its intricate arms dominate this coastal landscape on the border of Coos and Douglas counties. In the mid-1980s, the community of Lakeside serves as a central hub between the massive freshwater basins and the Pacific Ocean, which is buffered by the expansive sand dunes of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. The map reveals a complex water system including Eel Lake, Clear Lake, and Saunders Lake, often bordered by state and federal parklands like William M Tugman State Park. Notable infrastructure is concentrated around the southern reach, including the Hauser Substation, a US Naval Reservation, and the North Bend Air Nat Guard Station. This area is characterized by a mix of recreation and technical sites, where Highway 101 provides the primary artery through timberlands and coastal wetlands like North Slough.
