About this map

Willapa Bay dominates this coastal landscape, where the tides dictate the movement of water through the Bay Center Channel and Pine Island Channel. The settlement of Tokeland sits at the tip of the peninsula near Toke Point, defined by a network of local roads including Tokeland Rd and Kindred Ave. To the east across the water, the small community of Bay Center is positioned near Goose Point, serving as a primary point of access to the bay's rich maritime resources.

Fluvial systems like the Cedar River and Freshwater Cr drain into the northern reaches of the bay, while Teal Duck Slough creates a complex marshland environment around Kindred Island. The eastern shoreline is marked by prominent landforms such as Stony Point and Hawks Point, with the small settlement of Bruceport nestled along the coast. This map illustrates the intersection of small Pacific Northwest communities with a dynamic estuarine environment.
