About this map

Cranberry Bogs define the coastal lowlands of Curry County in the mid-1950s, clustered near the settlements of Langlois and Denmark. This coastal landscape is shaped by the drainage of Floras Creek and the Sixes River, where small communities and family-named landmarks like Morton Butte and Madden Butte dot the terrain between the Pacific Ocean and the rising peaks of the Siskiyou National Forest.

Evidence of local industry and resource management is visible in the presence of the Inman Mine and the Mt Butler Lookout on the southern high ground. Educational and recreational landmarks, such as the Millard Sch and Port Orford Cedar State Park, highlight the era's civic infrastructure. The map detail extends from the shores of Floras Lake down to the port town of Port Orford, capturing a period when the timber-rich hills and coastal agricultural flats supported a network of small towns and mountain trails like the Grassy Knob Trail.
