About this map

The South Fork Coquille River carves a narrow valley through the mountains of Southwest Oregon, serving as the primary corridor for settlement and industry in the mid-1950s. The town of Powers serves as the focal point of the region, where the Southern Pacific Railroad terminates after winding through the river canyon past Gaylord Siding and the small community of Gaylord. The importance of the timber and ranching economy is evident in the numerous family-named holdings and scattered outposts, including Dement Ranch, Powers Ranch, and Avery Ranch.
