2024 Map of Netarts

About this map

Netarts Bay defines the central geography of this coastal landscape, sheltered by the long, narrow Netarts Spit that separates it from the Pacific Ocean. The village of Netarts sits on the bay's northeastern shore, connected to nearby Wilson Beach and Oceanside via Netarts Bay Rd and Netarts Blvd W. Further north, the prominent headland of Cape Meares serves as a major landmark, punctuated by Pillar Rock and Pyramid Rock just offshore. These rugged formations are protected as part of the Cape Meares National Wildlife Refuge, reflecting a shoreline where conservation boundaries meet recreational beaches like Agate Beach and Short Beach. To the east, the map reveals the complex tidal environments of Tillamook Bay, where the Trask River and Tillamook River meet a network of islands including Snag Island and Dry Stocking Island, illustrating the intersection of freshwater drainage and the Pacific's influence.
