2023 Map of Tioga

About this map

South Fork Coos River and Williams River dominate this portion of the Pacific Northwest, where the drainage systems of the Oregon Coast Range intersect. The landscape is defined by the sharp divide between the Coos Co and Douglas Co line, tracing a series of ridges including the prominent High Ridge. A complex network of forestry roads, such as Callahan Rd and Burnt Ridge Rd, weaves through the steep terrain, providing access to remote locations like Coos Mtn. The map reveals the dense hydrography of the region, from the headwaters of the North Fork Coquille River in the south to the numerous tributaries like Tioga Creek, Shotgun Creek, and Hatcher Creek. These waterways and ridge-top roads suggest a landscape primarily shaped by the timber industry and watershed management, with few permanent settlements but significant naming of the smallest natural features like Cold Springs.
