1975 Map of Yaquina NE

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Newport's northern expansion is clearly visible in this mid-1970s orthophoto, showing the growing residential and commercial footprints along the Oregon coast. The aerial photography from September 1975 provides a sharp view of the land use patterns during a period of significant coastal development. To the north, the prominent silhouette of Yaquina Head juts into the Pacific Ocean, its rocky profile serving as a permanent landmark for the shifting sands of the adjacent beaches. This specific study captures the contrast between the dense forest cover of the coastal hills and the emerging suburban grid of the town, revealing the literal path of local growth before further modernization changed the landscape of Lincoln County.
