About this map

The Columbia River dominates this 2017 landscape, carving a complex network of channels and sloughs between Washington and Oregon. This section of the river is characterized by massive alluvial features like Puget Island and Whites Island, where the water splits into the Cathlamet Channel and Eureka Upper Channel. On the Washington side, the community of East Cathlamet sits near the base of the Driscoll Range, while the Elochoman River valley supports a string of settlements including Upper Elochoman and Lower Elochoman.

Navigation and riverfront activity are central to the region's identity, evidenced by the Westport Turn and Range and the industrial presence at Westport on the Oregon shore. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the lowland marshes, from Sturgeon Pen Slough to Wallace Slough, contrasted against the upland timber access provided by Bradley Truck Trl and Incline Camp Rd. Recreational and natural landmarks like Jones Beach and Cougar Cr Reservoir offer a look at how the land is utilized beyond the primary river artery.
