2024 Map of Mount Emily

About this map

Harbor serves as the primary coastal settlement on this recent study of the southern Oregon coast, where the Chetco River meets the Pacific Ocean. The landscape transitions from the shoreline, protected by the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge, into the dense timberlands of the Siskiyou National Forest. Local history is anchored at the Pioneer Cemetery and Van Pelt Cemetery, while the interior terrain is defined by dramatic ridgelines such as Boar Backbone, Wheeler Ridge, and the prominent Mt Emily. The drainage system is intricate, with the Winchuck River winding through the southern portion of the map near Peavine Ridge. Settlement patterns follow the river valleys and coastal benches, with named locations like Ostenbery Bar tucked along the river bends. The presence of the Oregon Redwoods Hiking Trail highlights the unique botanical character of this corner of Curry County.
