About this map

Fairview and McKinley serve as the primary hubs in this corner of Coos County, where the North Fork Coquille River and its numerous tributaries carve through the timbered heights of Blue Ridge and Rink Peak. The landscape is defined by its drainages, including Middle Creek, Yankee Run, and Wood Creek, which have historically dictated the placement of roads and small valley settlements. Genealogy researchers will find several well-documented burial sites such as Morris - Baker Cem, Fairview Cem, and Bridge Cem, which anchor the local family histories of the area.

Transportation routes like the Coos Bay Wagon RD and Burton Ferry RD trace the historic movement of goods and people between the coast and the interior valleys. The presence of Burton Prairie and Lee Valley among the steep terrain of Shuck Mtn illustrates the importance of these rare flatlands for early development. Significant landmarks like Middle Creek Falls further characterize this portion of the Oregon Coast Range.
