About this map

Fort Stevens and the surrounding Clatsop Plains dominate this coastal landscape where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean. The map documents a critical maritime and military corridor, anchored by the Fort Stevens Military Reservation and the Point Adams Coast Guard Sta. Inland from the massive Clatsop Spit, the town of Warrenton is defined by its industrial and transit infrastructure, including the Skipanon Waterway, the Burlington Northern railroad line, and the Port of Astoria Airport.

A string of freshwater lakes, such as Coffenbury Lake and Shag Lake, parallel the coast within the Fort Stevens State Park. This area serves as a transition between the active shipping channels of the river and the preserved acreage of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge. The map also captures the historical significance of the region at the Fort Clatsop National Memorial along the Lewis and Clark River.
