2017 Map of Riverton

About this map

The Coquille River winds through this coastal landscape, defining the low-lying Coquille Valley and creating distinct landforms like Randolph Island. The settlement pattern follows the water and old transport corridors, with small communities such as Riverton, Randolph, and Parkersburg situated near the riverbanks and sloughs. Evidence of earlier industry is visible in the network of secondary roads, including the Old Railroad Grade Rd and Old Beaver Hill Rd near the community of Beaver Hill. Local family history is preserved in several small burial sites tucked away from the main thoroughfares, such as Randolph Cem, Kronenberg Cem, and Russell Cem. These sites, along with features like Caufield Marsh and Beaver Slough, reflect a landscape deeply tied to its hydrology and early twentieth-century logging and transit routes.
