2020 Map of Oak Point

About this map

Oak Point and the nearby settlements of Quincy and Inglis anchor this riverside landscape along the Columbia River at the border of Washington and Oregon. The area is defined by a complex network of waterways including Oak Point Channel, Eureka Channel, and Gull Island Turn and Channel, which separate the mainland from substantial river features like Crims Island and Gull Island. Family and community history is preserved in numerous burial grounds across the hills and bottoms, such as Grasseth Cem, Bunker Hill Cem, and Stewart Hill Cem. The terrain rises toward Bunker Hill in the north, while the lowlands are webbed with drainage features like Pousky Slough, Bradbury Slough, and Beaver Slough. These interconnected sloughs and islands illustrate the historical importance of the river for navigation and agriculture in Cowlitz and Columbia counties.
