1984 Map of Newport North

About this map

Yaquina Head stands as a prominent coastal landmark on this 1980s survey, home to a light house and the Yaquina Pt. Latitude Sta. along the central Oregon coast. The map details the northern expansion of Newport and its surrounding communities, including Agate Beach, Newport Heights, and Beverly Beach. This era shows a landscape where public recreation and maritime safety intersect, documented through numerous coastal preserves like Devils Punch Bowl State Park and the offshore Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge Wilderness. Inland, the terrain is defined by the drainages of Big Creek and Moolack Creek, with water infrastructure including Big Cr Reservoir No 1. Local institutional history is captured through the presence of the Eureka Cem, Yaquina View Sch, and the city's civic core featuring the Armory and City Hall near the northern edge of Yaquina Bay.
