About this map

The South Fork Coquelle River winds through this 1998 survey, anchoring a landscape where timber and transit meet the northern edge of the Siskiyou National Forest. The town of Powers serves as the primary hub, situated near the Powers Ranger Station and Powers County Park. Small settlements like Gaylord and Bancroft dot the valley floor, connected by the Rogue Scenic Byway as it follows the river's bend.

Local history is preserved in small landmarks like the Waterman Cem and the Myrtle Creek Cemetery, while the surrounding terrain is defined by prominent peaks including Whobrey Mountain and Pyramid Rock. The presence of the Coquelle Myrtle Grove State Park highlights the region's specific ecological character, while multiple footbridges across Myrtle Creek suggest a network of pedestrian or trail access points throughout the forest and creek drainages.
