2017 Map of Powers

About this map

The South Fork Coquille River defines the lower elevations of this landscape, carving a path through the northern reaches of the Siskiyou National Forest. The settlement of Powers serves as the primary hub, situated near Powers Pond and Powers Cem. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial sites scattered throughout the terrain, including Neal Cem, Wise Cem, and the lone Warner Grave near the South Fork Coquille River. The presence of several stretches of Railroad Grade winding past Gaylord suggests the historical importance of the timber industry and rail transport in this part of Coos County. High peaks like Hood Mtn and Barklow Mountain rise above the drainage basins of Whisky Cr and Baker Cr, while Bancroft marks a smaller node of activity in the east near Hooker Cr.
