2014 Map of Mount Gurney

About this map

The boundary between Coos and Douglas Counties runs through this heavily dissected landscape of the Oregon Coast Range. High points such as Mount Gurney and Bear Mtn overlook a complex network of drainages that feed into larger systems, including the E Fork Coquille River and the Williams River. The terrain is defined by prominent ridges like Threemile Ridge and Long Ridge, which provide natural corridors above the steep gulches. A network of timber and access roads, including Burnt Bridge Rd and Long Ridge Rd, traces the contours of the land, reflecting the area's history with the timber industry and forest management. Small but significant landmarks such as Lost Creek Falls and the jagged Buzzard Rock punctuate the deep drainages of Lost Cr and Wilson Cr, illustrating the rugged hydrology of the Pacific Northwest.
