2020 Map of Netarts

About this map

Cape Meares stands as a prominent headland on this Oregon coast landscape, where the Pacific Ocean meets a complex network of bays and river mouths. The settlements of Oceanside and Netarts are central to the coastal topography, oriented around the protective stretch of Netarts Spit and the waters of Netarts Bay. To the north, the confluence of the Wilson River, Trask River, and Tillamook River creates a dynamic estuarine environment within Tillamook Bay, punctuated by distinctive landforms like Snag Island, Dry Stocking Island, and Sand Island. Offshore, the presence of Three Arch Rocks, Pyramid Rock, and Seal Rock highlights the area's maritime hazards and landmarks. Inland, the terrain is defined by a dense drainage system including Whiskey Creek, Fall Cr, and Tomlinson Cr, reflecting the region's steep coastal hydrology.
