Myrtle Point

Myrtle Point was incorporated in Coos County in 1893. Primarily a farming community, it was named for the abundant groves of Oregon myrtlewood trees and its prominent geographical location above the Coquille River. The town's average rainfall is about 62 inches per year.

The tiny town of Powers is nestled in the Coast Range. Named for timber baron Albert H. Powers, Powers is home to the popular Powers County Park and along the scenic drive, leading through Siskiyou National Forest land to Agness and the Rogue River, and eventually Gold Beach. The average annual temperature is 53 degrees, with July and August being the hottest months.
