About this map

Chinook and the nearby shoreline of Baker Bay define the southern tip of Washington's Long Beach Peninsula at its meeting with the Columbia River. This landscape is marked by significant protected lands, including the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge and Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, where the Fort Columbia Tunnel passes through the high ground of Chinook Point.

The map reveals a mix of tidal flats and steep timberlands, with the Wallacut River and Chinook River draining into the bays. Rural settlements like Stringtown and Ilwaco are connected by a network of local roads such as Chinook Valley Rd and Lingenfelter Rd. Notable elevation changes are found along Bear River Ridge and Scarboro Hill, providing a detailed look at the geography of the Pacific and Clatsop county border region.
