2024 Map of Powers

About this map

Powers serves as a central point of this coastal range landscape, situated along the South Fork Coquille River where mountain ridges give way to valley floor. The town's layout is defined by its timber and transit history, with N Railroad Ave and an old Railroad Grade tracking the river's course northward toward Gaylord. This contemporary survey identifies numerous family and community landmarks essential for local history, including the isolated Warner Grave, Neal Cem, and Wise Cem. The surrounding terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Hood Mtn and Pyramid Rock, while a dense network of watercourses like Long Tom Creek and Beaver Creek carve through the high ridges of Ben Grant Ridge. This modern mapping provides a clear record of the enduring road network, from Agness Rd to the high Myrtle Creek Rd.
