This is a detailed nautical chart of the Coquille River Entrance, Oregon, published by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey in March 1909. The map shows the mouth of the Coquille River as it flows into the Pacific Ocean near Bandon, Oregon, with special attention to soundings, tidal information, and the shifting channels of the river’s entrance.
Compiled with topographic data from 1887 and hydrographic surveys from 1860, the chart also includes later revisions to both the topography and hydrography at the river mouth by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, dated June 1903. The soundings are given in feet and show the depths at mean lower low water, with the 6-, 12-, 18-, and 30-foot contours delineated clearly for navigational use. A compass rose is placed offshore to aid orientation, and symbols mark submerged rocks, buoys, and other maritime hazards.
The town of Bandon is shown in the center, with a labeled Catholic church and School House Cupola, for orienting offshore navigators.
This chart was produced under the supervision of O.H. Tittmann, Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey.
