Powers | |
Powers is located in Coos County south of Myrtle Point along the Rogue-Coquille Route, on the banks of the South Fork Coquille River. The Siskiyou National Forest, about 5 miles south of town on the Rogue-Coquille Route, has many campgrounds. Beyond Powers and over a watershed divide is the Rogue River, which the road follows down to the Pacific Ocean at Gold Beach. Another road along the way is the Powers-Glendale Bike Route. These backcountry routes are usually closed by snow in winter.The original settlers hailed from North Carolina, and the town came be known as Powers after early 20th century lumberman Albert Powers who brought in men and machines (including a railroad) to log the surrounding forests. The historic Wagner House is said to be the oldest pioneer home in the region. There’s an adjacent railroad museum, as well as walk-around displays on the grounds. There is also a Powers, Michigan.
