2017 Map of McKinley

About this map

The North Fork Coquille River carves through this Coos County landscape, providing the central axis for early transport and settlement. Historically significant routes like the Coos Bay Wagon Rd and Fairview Rd connect the small communities of Fairview, McKinley, and Lee Valley. The map records several legacy burial grounds, including Morris-Baker Cem near the river and Fox Cem to the south, which serve as critical markers for genealogists and local historians. This era of the landscape is defined by its water crossings and topographic landmarks, such as Burton Prairie and Rink Peak. Significant river engineering is evidenced by the named bridges, including Lone Pine Bridge and Hervey Bridge, which facilitate the winding network of county roads and Bureau of Land Management routes. Small tributaries like Middle Creek and Yankee Run flow through the timbered sections, highlighting the traditional drainage patterns of the Oregon Coast Range.
