2017 Map of Langlois

About this map

The Pacific Ocean coastline of Curry County meets a complex hydrological landscape of coastal lakes and the meandering New River. This 2017 survey details the transition from the sandy lowlands near Floras Lake to the rising elevations of the Coast Range. The settlement of Langlois serves as a central hub along the highway, while the smaller community of Denmark is located further south near Willow Creek. Local history is anchored by landmarks such as the Denmark Cem and the Russell Bridge crossing Floras Creek. The terrain is defined by prominent coastal peaks including Morton Butte, Round Top, and White Mtn, which overlook a network of seasonal drainages like Bethel Creek and Butte Creek. The map documents how the New River runs parallel to the shore, creating a unique environment of freshwater lakes such as Croft Lake and Muddy Lake separated from the salt water by narrow dunes.
