1971 Map of Mc Kinley

About this map

Fairview and McKinley serve as the primary nodes of settlement along the winding corridors of the North Fork Coquille River and its many tributaries. In the early 1970s, the landscape was a mosaic of timbered ridges and valley floors where the Wagon Road and various pack trails indicate a history of rugged access. The map captures several critical river crossings including the Fairview Bridge, Lone Pine Bridge, and Fox Bridge, marking the essential infrastructure of this river-driven economy. Genealogists will find interest in the Fairview Cem and the Pleasant Hill School, while the presence of a Gaging Station and several quarries indicates the active management and extraction occurring within the drainage basins. Public lands are well-defined by Rock Prairie County Park and Middle Creek County Park, which flank the central valley system of Lee Valley.
