2020 Map of Powers

About this map

The South Fork Coquille River defines the western valley of this Coos County quadrangle, where the town of Powers serves as a central hub. This 2020 survey illustrates a landscape of established timber routes and river-bottom settlements, connected by a network of rural roads like Myrtle Creek Rd and Yellow Creek Ln. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites and family landmarks, ranging from the Warner Grave near the river to the Myrtle Creek Cem in the northeast. The geography transitions from the river flats near Gaylord into the significant elevations of Ben Grant Ridge, Samison Mtn, and Bingham Mtn. Evidence of the region’s logistical history is preserved in the Railroad Grade running parallel to the river, while natural features like Powers Pond and Pyramid Rock provide clear navigational reference points across the varying terrain.
