1957 Map of Oysterville

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Oysterville sits on the sheltered eastern shore of the North Beach Peninsula, a landscape defined by the shifting barrier between the Pacific Ocean and the mudflats of Willapa Bay. This 1950s survey documents a coastal economy and community structure built around the bay's natural resources, from the oyster beds near Stackpole Harbor to the inland Cranberry Bog locations. The terrain is marked by a dramatic contrast between the high Sand Dunes on the ocean side and the low-lying interior marshes containing Skating Lake and Sherwood Forest. Small settlements like Ocean Park and Nahcotta are connected by the Peninsula Highway, while the Oysterville Cem and local landmarks like the Morehead Boys Camp provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians studying this stretch of the Washington coast.
