The Brookings, Oregon graticule is located at 42,-124. Today's location.

More than half of this graticule lies over the Pacific Ocean. The land area is generally forested hills, often quite difficult to reach; much of the eastern quarter of the graticule is in the wilderness area of the Siskiyou National Forest.

Highway 101 runs along the coast, connecting the towns of Brookings, Gold Beach, and Port Orford, as well as little villages like Langlois, on the northern edge of the graticule. In the northeast corner, the very small town of Powers is the center of activity in the valley of the South Fork of the Coquille River.
