About this map

The North Beach Peninsula forms a narrow, freshwater-pocketed strip between the churning Pacific Ocean and the sheltered waters of Willapa Bay. This 2017 study illustrates the delicate balance of the coastal landscape, where long north-south thoroughfares like Pacific Way and Sandridge Rd connect the established communities of Ocean Park, Klipsan Beach, and Oceanside. The interior of the peninsula is a complex mosaic of marshland and small lakes, including Loomis Lake, Island Lake, and Deer Lake, which reflect the region's unique hydrology.

Industrial and natural landmarks are noted throughout the wetlands, such as the Cranberry Marsh and various sloughs like Pauls Slough and Giles Slough. To the east, the Nahcotta Channel separates the peninsula from the broader expanse of Shoalwater Bay, marked by the prominence of Jensen Point. The map provides a contemporary look at the residential platting and environmental features of this Pacific County coastal reach.
