1957 Map of Oysterville

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The North Beach Peninsula stretches between the churning Pacific Ocean and the tidal flats of Willapa Bay, defined by a narrow strip of coastal land that supported a unique maritime and agricultural economy. The historic settlement of Oysterville sits on the eastern shore, a focal point for the oyster industry that flourished along the Willapa Channel. The landscape is a complex mix of Sand Dunes to the west and dense Sherwood Forest to the east, punctuated by specialized land uses such as a Cranberry Bog and several community landmarks including a Cem and Skating Lake. Civil development is concentrated along the Peninsula Highway, while the southern reaches transition into the protected environments of the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge. Recreation and youth programs are evident through the presence of Willapa Camp and Morehead Boys Camp, reflecting the area's mid-century character.
