1957 Map of Yaquina

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Newport and its surrounding coastal communities are captured here in the mid-1950s, a period when the timber and maritime economy of Lincoln County was well-established. The map shows the significant development around Yaquina Bay, featuring the Coast Guard Station and the industrial activity near Winant and Oysterville along the Yaquina River. The importance of coastal navigation and safety is evidenced by the Yaquina Head Lighthouse and the Newport Airport with its VOR Omni Beacon. Civil infrastructure like the Newport Reservoir and the Coast Highway link the scattered settlements from Otter Rock in the north to Seal Rock in the south. This survey highlights a landscape where leisure and industry meet, showing several state parks alongside Gravel Pits and the local Lincoln Grange, reflecting the daily life of Oregon's central coast during this era.
