2017 Map of Coal Creek

About this map

The Columbia River serves as the focal point of this coastal landscape, defining the state boundary between Washington and Oregon. Along the northern bank, the city of Longview expands toward the river's edge, transitioning from the residential slopes of Longview Heights down to a complex system of industrial and agricultural drainage, including Ditch Number Five and Ditch Number Six. The river itself is fragmented by substantial landforms such as Fisher Island, Walker Island, and Lord Island, which are separated from the mainland by a series of deep channels and sloughs like Solo Slough.
