About this map

Ophir and Nesika Beach anchor this coastal stretch of Curry County, where the terrestrial landscape meets the protected waters of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge Wilderness. The topography is defined by sharp elevation changes, from the sea-level expanse of Arizona Beach to the heights of Vondergreen Hill. Inland, the map reveals several significant watercourses, including Mussel Creek, Euchre Creek, and Greggs Creek, which cut through the terrain toward the Pacific Ocean.

Genealogists and local historians will find the location of the Fox Hill Cemetery and the Frankport (Site) particularly useful for tracing early settlement patterns. Along the corridor of Highway 101, landmarks such as the Ophir Safety Rest Area and a local P.O. reflect the mid-1980s infrastructure. Notable offshore features like Sister Rocks, Devils Backbone, and North Rock serve as distinct navigational markers against the rugged coastline.
