2023 Map of Long Island

About this map

Long Island serves as the centerpiece of this coastal survey, situated within the expansive Willapa National Wildlife Refuge. The map details a complex estuarine environment where the Middle Nemah River and South Nemah River meet Willapa Bay. Human presence is marked by the small settlement of Middle Nemah and a network of logging and access paths such as the Center Road Trl and Sawlog Trl. The geography is defined by numerous points and sloughs, including Stanley Point on the Stanley Peninsula and the winding Lewis Slough. To the south, the terrain rises significantly toward Bear River Ridge, contrasting with the low-lying tidal flats of Shoalwater Bay. This landscape represents a modern look at a protected Pacific Northwest wilderness, balancing preserved natural habitats like Smoky Hollow with the remains of coastal infrastructure.
