About this map

Samuel H Boardman State Park and the offshore sanctuary of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge dominate this coastal survey. The map details a dramatic segment of the Curry County shoreline where the land meets the Pacific Ocean through a series of steep headlands and sea stacks. Landmark features such as Mack Point and the distinctive Mack Arch provide clear navigational markers, while Mack Reef and Mack Arch Cove highlight the complex maritime geography of the area.

Inland, the terrain rises toward Burnt Hill, drained by small coastal streams like Hidden Creek and Sand Cr. The presence of several named rocks including Yellow Rock, Black Rock, and Leaning Rock indicates a coastline of significant geologic variety. This provisional edition preserves the shoreline as it was recorded during the late 1970s and early 1980s, emphasizing the protected status of the coastal corridor and its relative lack of heavy development.
