2024 Map of Cape Blanco

About this map

Cape Blanco projects sharply into the Pacific Ocean, forming the westernmost point of land depicted in this coastal survey. The landscape is defined by the heavy influence of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge, which encompasses numerous offshore landforms such as Blanco Reef, Orford Reef, and distinctive stacks like Steamboat Rock and Castle Rock. On the mainland, the Sixes River and Elk River move through the coastal lowlands, creating a complex of wetlands and alluvial flats behind Sixes Beach and Tituna Spit.
