2011 Map of Sixes

About this map

The Sixes River and Elk River drainage basins define this coastal landscape near the Pacific in Curry County. The small community of Sixes serves as a focal point, anchored by the Sixes Post Office near the intersection of several local roads like Sweet Ranch Rd and Sixes River Rd. Further south, the northern edge of Port Orford is visible, featuring Buffington Memorial Park and the nearby Silver Butte. The terrain is marked by distinct topographical features such as Poverty Ridge, Eightmile Prairie, and several peaks including Summit Mountain and Madden Butte. Local water management and land use are evidenced by Richman Reservoir and Marsh Log Pond, while a network of forest and county roads, such as Elk River Rd and Crystal Creek Rd, provide access through the timber-rich hills and along the numerous tributary creeks that feed the primary river systems.
