How to Use This Powers, Oregon Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Powers, Oregon. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Oregon or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Powers.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Powers anchors itself firmly against the verdant, steep-walled basin where the South Fork Coquille River carves a serpentine path through the deep timberland. It lies 34.2 miles south-southeast of Coos Bay, OR (from Coos Bay, OR: bearing 168°T), and is situated 13.0 miles south-southeast of Myrtle Point. The air here holds a permanent, cool dampness, drawing moisture from the dense canopy that blankets the surrounding terrain and pushes toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Klamath Mountains. Within the town limits, Powers Pond reflects the shifting gray clouds, serving as a quiet focal point where the water remains still against the backdrop of vigorous, dark-green conifers. A few miles away, the rugged descent of Fuzzy Gulch adds a jagged complexity to the topography, while the seasonal surge of the South Fork Coquille River—a designated Wild and Scenic River—reminds residents of the land’s raw, untamed hydrological power.

Timber extraction and the rhythm of the woods have long defined the lifeblood of Powers, coloring its history with the grit and endurance of a frontier industrial outpost. The legacy of the mills lingers in the sturdy, unadorned architecture that lines the streets, where the pace of the day is dictated more by the changing light on the ridges than by the frantic pulse of the outside world. Those who wander beyond the immediate settlement find the wilderness encroaching quickly, with the protected expanse of the Coquille River Falls Natural Area offering a sanctuary of ferns and old-growth giants. Even on quiet afternoons, the distant, rhythmic thunder of Elk Creek Falls serves as a constant, subterranean heartbeat, anchoring the identity of Powers to the persistent, slow-moving cycles of the inland forest.

About This Powers Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Powers, Oregon. Coordinates: 42.883444, -124.073152. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Powers includes the ZIP code (97466), telephone area code (503, 971), county seat of Coos County (Coquille), and school district assignment (Powers School District 31).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
