1903 Map of Port Orford

About this map

Cape Blanco and the surrounding coastline of the Pacific Ocean dominate this turn-of-the-century topographic study. The maritime character of the region is evident in landmarks like Blacklock Pt Tower Rock, The Heads, and Garrison Lagoon near Port Orford. Inland, the landscape rises sharply into a dense network of ridges and peaks, including Humbug Mt. and Bald Mountain. The settlement pattern follows the coastal terrace and river valleys, with small communities like Langlois, Denmark, and Frankport established along established travel corridors and water sources.
