2011 Map of Newport South

About this map

Yaquina Bay and the mouth of the Yaquina River dominate the northern landscape, where the Hatfield Marine Science Center stands as a prominent fixture of the modern coast. The shoreline stretches south from South Beach State Park through a series of coastal settlements including Holiday Beach, Forfar, and Ona Beach, terminating at the distinctive formations of Seal Rock. Inland, the map reveals a dense network of tidal sloughs and winding creeks such as Poole Slough and Henderson Creek, which define the low-lying terrain. The coastal economy and infrastructure of the early 21st century are well-represented by the Newport Municipal Airport and the South Beach Post Office. Further south and east, the transition to rural life is marked by the Lincoln Grange and the confluence of several branches of Beaver Creek.
