1956 Map of North Cove

About this map

Cape Shoalwater and the shifting sands of the Washington coast define this mid-century topographic record. The landscape is dominated by the meeting of the Pacific Ocean and Willapa Bay, where dynamic features like Graveyard Spit and North Beach Peninsula indicate a coastline in constant flux. The map reveals a sparsely settled region anchored by the Shoalwater Indian Reservation and the small coastal communities of North Cove and Dexter by the Sea.
