2014 Map of Myrtle Point

About this map

Myrtle Point serves as the focal point of this Coos County landscape, situated where the North Fork Coquille River meets the main branch of the Coquille River. The terrain is defined by several prominent valleys, including Arago Valley, Pleasant Valley, and Coquille Valley, which have historically shaped the settlement and transportation routes of the region. Local heritage is preserved in numerous rural burial sites scattered through the hills, such as Upper Fishtrap Cem, Norway Cem, and the Hermann Cem near Broadbent. The presence of the Myrtle Point Log Pond and landmarks like Marsters Rock and Cribbins Hill reflect a landscape heavily influenced by the timber industry and river geography. Smaller communities like Arago, Norway, and Estabrook are linked by a network of rural roads including Fishtrap Rd and Arago Rd, providing a detailed view of the area's mid-20th-century development and land use.
