About this map

Rockaway Beach and the coastal communities of northern Tillamook County are defined by their position between the Pacific shoreline and the steep coastal mountains. This survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the region's diverse water bodies, from the freshwater of Lake Lytle and Seaview Lake to the protected waters of Tillamook Bay. The landscape is dominated by the prominent Bayocean Peninsula, which separates the bay from the ocean, and the rocky heights of Captain Gray Mtn to the east.

Industrial and maritime history is centered around the bayside towns of Garibaldi and Bay City. Local geography is further marked by significant natural landmarks such as Twin Rocks Arch and Cape Meares at the southern edge of the sheet. The map provides a detailed view of the local drainage systems, including the Miami River and numerous creeks like Peterson Creek and Watseco Creek, which feed into the bay's complex channel network of the Main Channel and South Channel.
