1956 Map of North Cove

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The shifting sands of the Washington coast define this mid-century survey where Willapa Bay meets the Pacific Ocean. The landscape is dominated by tidal dynamics, evidenced by features like Graveyard Spit and Empire Spit, while the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge and the Shoalwater Indian Reservation anchor the northern shoreline. Small coastal settlements such as North Cove and the evocative Dexter by the Sea are located near the bay's entrance, providing a record of residential patterns before significant coastal erosion further altered this shoreline.
