USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Cape Disappointment and the strategic mouth of the Columbia River dominate this coastal survey. The landscape is defined by its maritime and military significance, featuring both the North Head Lighthouse and the Cape Disappointment Lighthouse guarding the treacherous approach to Baker Bay. Inland, the peninsula's early development is visible through a string of settlements including Long Beach, Seaview, and the hub at Ilwaco.
