1903 Map of Port Orford

About this map

Port Orford serves as the coastal anchor of this turn-of-the-century landscape, situated along a complex shoreline defined by landmarks like The Heads and Garrison Lagoon. The survey, completed just before the turn of the century, reveals the early development of Curry County and Coos County at a time when the region relied heavily on maritime access and river-bottom agriculture. To the north, the settlement of Denmark and the proximity of Floras Lake contrast with the dense interior of the Siskiyou National Forest.
