About this map

The ridge-and-canyon terrain of the Coast Range defines this area on the Coos and Douglas county line. The prominent Mt Gurney and Bear Mtn anchor the high ground, while the Williams River and the E Fork Coquille River drain the steep drainages. The landscape is a network of timber and access roads, most notably the historic Coos Bay Wagon Rd which cuts through the southern sections.

Insights into forest management and hydrology are found in specific labels like Mt Gurney Outplanting and the identification of water sources such as Burnt Mtn Spr and Lower Burnt Mtn Spr. The map documents the intricate divide between watersheds, where named features like Buzzard Rock and Threemile Ridge mark the high points above a complex system of creeks including Tioga Cr, Fivemile Cr, and Tenmile Cr.
