1903 Map of Port Orford

About this map

Cape Blanco stands as the westernmost point on this coastal landscape, which was surveyed at the end of the nineteenth century before being reprinted in the 1930s. The region is defined by a series of coastal freshwater bodies like Floras Lake, Garrison Lake, and New Lake, separated from the Pacific Ocean by narrow strips of land. Inland, the terrain rises sharply into the Siskiyou National Forest, where the Rogue River and Illinois River carve through high peaks including Salmon Mountain and Barklow Mt.
