About this map

Puget Island and a intricate network of sloughs and channels dominate this reach of the Columbia River on the border of Washington and Oregon. The map documents the complex hydrology of the estuary, featuring numerous named waterways like Sturgeon Pen Slough, Birnie Slough, and Eureka Upper Channel. Along the northern banks, the Elochoman River winds through small rural communities including Upper Elochoman and Lower Elochoman, where the Beaver Creek State Fish Hatchery is a notable facility near the valley floor.

Transport and topography meet at Nassa Point and the steep bluffs near Cape Horn, where the Ocean Beach Hwy hugs the shoreline. In the southern portion, the timber and maritime character of the region is evident in settlements like Westport and Waterford, alongside drainage features such as the Marshland Flood Control District Canal. The map provides a detailed record of the island-dotted river and the small hillside settlements like Flandersville and State Camp.
