2011 Map of Port Orford OE W

About this map

Port Orford sits at the edge of the Pacific Ocean on this coastal Oregon survey. The shoreline is defined by dramatic geological formations and small coves, ranging from the broad expanse of Agate Beach to the rocky outcroppings of Klooqueh Rock and Tichenor Rock. Behind the coastal bluffs, Garrison Lake provides a freshwater contrast to the salt spray of the nearby surf. This 2011 map documents the town's layout including the Buffington Memorial Park and the historic Tichenor Cemetery, which preserves a link to the early families of Curry County. The topography reveals the sharp descent from the mainland at The Heads down to sea level landmarks like Hells Gate and Nellies Point. These features illustrate the intersection of a settled community and the maritime environment of the Pacific Northwest coast.
