About this map

The Williams River and its numerous tributaries, including Fivemile Cr and Wilson Cr, carve through this heavily ridged landscape along the border of Coos and Douglas counties. This 2017 study illustrates a region dominated by timber and resource management, defined by an intricate network of Bureau of Land Management and forestry access roads like the Burnt Ridge Rd and various WTC-designated routes. Elevations reach their peak at Mount Gurney and Bear Mtn, while the terrain is marked by prominent landmarks such as Buzzard Rock and Bennett Rock.

Water is a defining characteristic of this interior geography, from the headwaters of the Edenk Coquille River to the Lost Creek Falls. The map details the transition between various townships and ranges, such as t27s r9w and t28s r8w, revealing the structured land divisions typical of Oregon's coast range foothills. Named ridges like Threemile Ridge and Yew Ridge provide a clear sense of the verticality and drainage patterns that shape this area.
