Coos Bay Wagon Road
The Coos Bay Wagon Road or Coos Bay Military Wagon Road was a pioneer road in the U.S. state of Oregon that connected Douglas County to Coos Bay starting in 1872.[1] Travelers on the road could start in either Tenmile or Lookingglass near Roseburg. The route passed through , Sitkum, Dora, McKinley, and Fairview, ending in Sumner south of Coos Bay. Eventually the road was continued to Eastside, now a neighborhood of Coos Bay.[2] The road follows the East Fork Coquille River from near the Coos/Douglas county line to Dora.[3]
