About this map

Arizona Beach and the rugged shoreline of Curry County define this coastal landscape, where the land meets the Pacific Ocean along a series of distinctive landforms. The settlement of Ophir serves as a central point for the local road network, including Euchre Creek Rd and Squaw Valley Rd, which follow the drainage of Euchre Creek. To the south, the community of Nesika Beach sits near Vondergreen Hill, marking a shift in the coastal topography as the hills recede from the surf.

Several landmarks offer depth for local historians, including the Fox Hill Cem situated north of Ophir. The coastline itself is marked by notable features such as Sisters Rocks, the Devils Backbone ridgeline, and the broad stretch of Ophir Beach. Further out, North Rock stands as a sentinel in the water. Smaller watercourses like Myrtle Cr, Mussel Cr, and Greggs Cr cut through the coastal ranges, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have shaped property lines and ranch roads like Arizona Ranch Rd for generations.
