1949 Map of Cathlamet Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Columbia River maritime life and riverine commerce define this 1949 landscape near the mouth of the great waterway. The map documents a complex network of shifting sandbars, channels, and islands, including the sprawling Woody Island and the smaller McGregor Island, which navigate the space between the main Point Channel and the South Channel. Along the southern shore, the community of Svensen serves as a local hub, supported by the Svensen Sch and positioned at the intersection of the Columbia River Highway and the Burlington Northern railroad lines. The topography transitions sharply from the expansive Tidal Flat areas of Cathlamet Bay to the rising timbered elevations of Fern Hill. This document captures the mid-century infrastructure of the Oregon coast, including navigational aids like Front Range Light and Beacon No 4, alongside local features such as the Landing Strip near Ferris Creek.
