2014 Map of Clatsop Spit

About this map

Clatsop Spit defines this maritime landscape where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean. This coastal boundary map highlights the dynamic interface between the river's mouth and the open sea, marked by the shifting sands of the spit and the protective waters of Jetty Lagoon. Navigation and coastal infrastructure are central to this area, indicated by the Entrance Range and the proximity of the Lower Desdemona Shoal. The land remains largely dominated by its geographic position at the northwestern tip of Clatsop County, with Jetty Rd providing the primary land-based access to this exposed coastal reach.
