About this map

Netarts Bay serves as the focal point of this coastal landscape, sheltered from the Pacific Ocean by the long, narrow reach of Netarts Spit. Along the northern edge of the bay, the settlements of Netarts, Wilson Beach, and Oceanside occupy the headlands, connected by local routes like Netarts Bay Dr and Cape Meares Loop. The coastline is marked by distinctive geological formations, including Maxwell Point and the offshore wildlife sanctuary at Three Arch Rocks.

Further north, the prominent headland at Cape Meares overlooks McCoys Cove and the southern entrance to Tillamook Bay. The map documents a complex drainage system where numerous creeks, such as Whiskey Creek and Fall Cr, descend from the interior heights toward the shore. To the northeast, the Wilson River and Tillamook River converge near several marshy landforms, including Delta Island and Dry Stocking Island, illustrating the intersection of riverine and tidal environments.
