1899 Map of Port Orford

About this map

Cape Blanco and the rocky headlands of the Pacific Ocean dominate this late 19th-century survey of coastal Oregon. At a time when sea travel remained vital to the region's economy, Port Orford serves as the primary maritime anchor, while small interior settlements like Langlois, Denmark, and Eckley are connected by early trails and roads through the Coast Range. The topography reveals a landscape defined by the drainage basins of the Sixes River, Elk River, and the Rogue River, which snakes through the southeastern corner near Agness.
