About this map

Port Orford occupies a narrow, dramatic stretch of the Oregon coastline, anchored by the prominent headland known as The Heads. This maritime environment is defined by its rugged offshore features and protected inlets, including Tichenor Cove and Nellies Cove, which have long served as vital components of the local geography. Inland, the freshwater of Garrison Lake sits just behind the shoreline, separated from the Pacific Ocean by a slender barrier near Agate Beach.

Local history is preserved at the Tichenor Cem north of the town center, while numerous landmarks like Tichenor Rock and Klooqueh Rock navigate the seafaring approach to this Curry County settlement. The map documents the local road network, including the Port Orford Hwy and residential routes like 12th St and King St, providing a clear record of the community's footprint as it stood in the early twenty-first century.
