1953 Map of Warrenton

About this map

Fort Stevens and the surrounding coastal defense landscape anchor this mid-century survey of the Oregon shore where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean. The map documents a complex maritime and military corridor, from the Point Adams Coast Guard Sta to the historical grounds of the Fort Clatsop National Memorial. Inland, the Clatsop Plains are dotted with numerous small bodies of water like Coffenbury Lake and Crabapple Lake, reflecting the unique dune-and-swale topography of the Clatsop Spit.
