2014 Map of Oysterville

About this map

Willapa Bay and the Pacific Ocean border the narrow peninsula of the Long Beach Peninsula, where these coastal communities represent a legacy of maritime and agricultural industry. Oysterville stands as a primary settlement along the eastern shore, its grid reflecting the historical importance of the local shellfish trade. Further south, the community of Nahcotta sits adjacent to the Nahcotta Channel, serving as a gateway to the bay’s resources. The landscape is defined by its transition from the oceanfront dunes to the tidal wetlands of Espy Slough and Goulters Slough. Between these shores, local infrastructure includes Martin Airport and recreational sites like the Morehead Boys Camp. The northern reaches are more sparsely developed, characterized by the Bearberry Trail and Leadbetter Bay Loop Trail, which weave through the terrain near Stackpole Harbor and Hines.
