2014 Map of Powers

About this map

The town of Powers sits at the southern edge of this 2014 survey, where the valley of the South Fork Coquille River meets the northern boundary of the Siskiyou National Forest. This region of Coos County is defined by its deep drainages and ridges, including Ben Grant Ridge and the prominent Suicide Rock. Small settlements like Gaylord and Bancroft are connected by roads that snake through the mountain terrain, such as Highway 242 and Mill Creek Rd. For those researching local families, the map identifies several scattered burial sites including Neal Cem, Myrtle Creek Cem, and the lone Warner Grave. The industrial and transport history of the area is visible through features like Railroad Ave in Powers and various logging or access routes like Yellow Creek Ln and N Woodward Creek Ln.
