2011 Map of North Bend

About this map

North Bend and the surrounding Coos Bay coastline are defined by a complex network of inlets and sloughs that have shaped the region's development. This early 21st-century portrait shows the urban layout of the city alongside the McCullough Memorial Bridge, which spans the Coos River to connect with the settlement of Glasgow. To the north, the landscape transitions into a series of coastal freshwater bodies like Horsfall Lake, Spirit Lake, and Sandpoint Lake, while the eastern side of the bay is marked by rural road networks and natural drainages such as Kentuck Slough and Larson Slough. Aviation infrastructure is prominent, featuring the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport on the peninsula and the smaller Sunnyhill Airfield further inland near Hauser. The map captures a moment when the maritime geography of the Pacific Northwest and the established infrastructure of Coos County converged.
