2014 Map of Riverton

About this map

The Coquille River winds through this coastal valley, anchoring a series of historic riverfront settlements including Riverton, Parkersburg, and Randolph. The landscape is a complex network of waterways, where the river meets Randolph Slough, Iowa Slough, and Hatchet Slough near the prominent Randolph Island. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of several family and community burial grounds, such as Randolph Cem, Kronenberg Cem, Hultin Cem, and Russell Cem, provides specific points of interest for tracing early families in Coos County. North of the river, Beaver Hill and the remnants of the Old Railroad Grade Rd reflect the area's industrial and transportation history. The proximity of features like Rocky Point and Caufield Gulch further highlights the varied topography where the tide-water lowlands meet the rising coastal hills.
