2020 Map of Arch Cape

About this map

Cannon Beach and Tolovana Park anchor the northern reaches of this coastal survey, where the Oregon shoreline meets the steep rises of the Coast Range. The map details a high-relief landscape defined by prominent headlands such as Silver Point, Humbug Point, and Hug Point, which create a series of sheltered coves including Cove Beach and Short Sand Beach. Inland, the terrain ascends rapidly to the summits of Angora Peak and Onion Peak, drained by a dense network of waters like Arch Cape Cr and W Fork Ecola Cr. A critical piece of infrastructure, the Arch Cape Tunnel 2247, facilitates travel through the cliffs near the Clatsop and Tillamook county line, reflecting the engineering required to navigate this shore. The settlement pattern is strictly linear, following the narrow coastal bench at Arch Cape and Arcadia Beach.
