About this map

Waldport sits at the confluence of the Alsea River and Alsea Bay, serving as the central hub for this coastal stretch of Lincoln County. The landscape is defined by the meeting of the Pacific Ocean and the heavily forested interiors of the Siuslaw National Forest. North along the shoreline, the community of Seal Rock is marked by prominent marine features like Seal Rocks and Elephant Rock, which are protected within the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge.

Evidence of local history and community life is found in the distribution of small cemeteries such as Memorial Home Cem near the town center and Alder Grove Cem to the south. The southern coastline transitions from the residential streets of Holly Beach down to Wakonda Beach, where the Wakonda Beach State Airport provides regional access. Notable landmarks like Yaquina John Point and Shepards Point anchor the bay's geography, while inland, Eckman Lake and Eckman Slough indicate the complex drainage systems of the Oregon coast.
