1949 Map of Cape Disappointment

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The dramatic headlands of Cape Disappointment stand at the meeting point of the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean, anchoring a landscape defined by maritime safety and military history. This mid-century survey captures the strategic importance of the peninsula, home to both the North Head Lighthouse and the Cape Disappointment Lighthouse, as well as the installations of Fort Canby. To the north, the peninsula transitions into the coastal resort and residential areas of Long Beach, Seaview, and Holman, which are separated from the inland marshes by the Old Grade Railroad.
