About this map

The Pacific coastline of Curry County dominates this map, where the shoreline is defined by numerous sea stacks and rocky outcroppings. Significant marine landmarks include the natural bridge of Mack Arch and the surrounding hazards of Mack Reef, which have long been critical navigation points for coastal mariners. The land rises sharply from the water at Mack Point and Windy Point, creating a dramatic vertical relief typical of the southern Oregon coast.

Transportation through this difficult terrain is represented by Carpenterville Rd and Byrdies Rd, which follow the contours of the coastal hills above Mack Arch Cove. In the northern section, the drainage of Burnt Hill Cr flows into the sea, while named landmarks like Saddle Rock and Leaning Rock provide distinct visual markers for the area's geography. The map captures a largely undeveloped stretch of the shoreline, highlighting the preservation of its natural geological formations.
