2020 Map of McKinley

About this map

The North Fork Coquille River carves through the interior of Coos County, defining the settlement patterns of Fairview and McKinley. This recent topographic study documents a landscape where historical infrastructure remains vital, from the winding path of the Coos Bay Wagon Rd to several named river crossings including Fairview Bridge, Hervey Bridge, and the Lone Pine Bridge. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, identifying small family and community burial sites like Morris-Baker Cem, Fairview Cem, and Fox Bridge Cem situated near the watercourses. Elevated terrain such as Blue Ridge and Rink Peak overlooks the fertile Burton Prairie and the transition into Lee Valley, while numerous tributaries like Middle Cr and Yankee Run illustrate the complex drainage of the Oregon Coast Range foothills.
