1957 Map of Oysterville

About this map

Oysterville sits at the heart of the North Beach Peninsula, where the landscape is defined by the narrow strip of land separating the Pacific Ocean from Willapa Bay. This 1957 survey, updated in the 1990s, reveals a coastal economy transitioning from its maritime roots toward recreation and specialized agriculture. Extensive Cranberry Bogs dot the lowlands south of town, while the northern tip is preserved within the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge and Leadbetter Point State Park.
