2014 Map of Chinook

About this map

Chinook and the adjacent shoreline of the Columbia River define this Pacific County landscape, where the maritime economy meets the timbered slopes of Bear River Ridge. The map details the transition from the tidal flats of Baker Bay to the rising terrain of Scarboro Hill, showing the critical infrastructure required for navigation near the river's mouth, including the Chinook Jetty and the Sand Island Dike Light. Inland, the settlement pattern is characterized by established family holdings such as Kyle Ranch, Goulter Ranch, and Gile Ranch, which are connected by a network of rural routes like Chinook Valley Rd. Portions of the Lewis and Clark National and State Historical Parks are also visible, marking the area's significance to early continental exploration. The map provides a thorough view of the coastal marshlands around Greenhead Slough and the winding course of the Wallacut River.
