1954 Map of Powers

About this map

Powers serves as the central hub of this mid-century survey, situated along the Coquille River where the Southern Pacific railroad line terminates. The landscape is a complex network of timber and ranching interests, evidenced by the numerous holdings such as Dement Ranch, Avery Ranch, and Powers Ranch. The importance of the regional timber industry is further highlighted by the Port Orford Cedar Experimental Forest and the extensive Siskiyou National Forest boundary, which covers much of the southern terrain.
