About this map

Cape Disappointment anchors this coastal landscape where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean. The strategic geography is defined by significant maritime and military installations, including the North Head Lighthouse and the Cape Disappointment Lighthouse guarding the treacherous entrance to the river. Landward, the Fort Canby Military Reservation and Sand Island Military Reservation underscore the area's mid-century tactical importance.
