About this map

The coastal communities of Langlois and Denmark anchor this study of the Curry and Coos County borderlands. The landscape is defined by the unique hydrology of the New River, which runs parallel to the Pacific Ocean shoreline, separated by a narrow strip of dunes. This geographical arrangement creates a series of freshwater bodies just inland, including New Lake, Croft Lake, and Muddy Lake.

Further south, the terrain rises toward the foothills of the Coast Range, marked by prominent features such as Morton Butte and White Mtn. The rural infrastructure is detailed through landmarks like Russell Bridge on Floras Creek and the Denmark Cem, which serves as a vital point for genealogical research. The Oregon Coast Hwy (US-101) provides the primary north-south artery, connecting these dispersed settlements and agricultural lands near the headwaters of Willow Cr and Fourmile Cr.
