1984 Map of Newport South

About this map

Yaquina Bay and the coastal corridor south of Newport are detailed in this mid-1980s coastal survey. The map documents a landscape defined by the transition from the Pacific Ocean to the sheltered waters of the Yaquina River, showcasing the maritime and research infrastructure at South Beach, including the Marine Science Center and the protective north and south Jetty systems. Inland, the map captures the complex network of tidal waterways such as King Slough, McCaffery Slough, and Poole Slough which carved into the coastal timberlands of the Siuslaw National Forest.
