About this map

The coastal peninsula of Tokeland and the eastern shores of Willapa Bay define this landscape along the Washington coast. At the southern tip of the peninsula, Toke Point and the Tokeland Marina serve as landmarks for the maritime community, while the Bayshore Recreational Vehicle Park indicates the modern recreational use of the shoreline. Across the water to the east, the settlement of Bay Center sits nestled behind Goose Point, marked by the presence of the Bay Center Post Office and a network of local roads including Dike Rd and N Moores Ln.

The hydrography of the region is complex, shaped by the tidal influence on Teal Duck Slough and the winding paths of the Cedar River and Bone River. Islands and sandbars like Kindred Island, Snag Islands, and Ellen Sands break up the expanse of the bay. On the eastern mainland, smaller agricultural or residential footprints are visible at Holton Ranch and Bruceport, where Hansen Creek and Stuart Slough meet the coastal forest.
