2024 Map of Arch Cape

About this map

Arch Cape and the surrounding coastline of the Pacific Ocean define this survey, where the peaks of the Northern Oregon Coast Range meet the sea. The landscape transitions from the residential clusters at Cannon Beach and Tolovana Park in the north to the protected expanses of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge and Oregon Islands Wilderness. Dramatic coastal features such as Cape Falcon, Silver Point, and Lion Rock punctuate the shoreline, while inland, elevations rise sharply toward Onion Peak and Angora Peak. The boundary between Clatsop and Tillamook counties crosses the map just south of Falcon Rock. This terrain reflects a history of maritime navigation and coastal isolation, with landmarks like Smuggler Cove and the Devils Cauldron hinting at the area's geological and seafaring past.
