DESCRIPTION

Chart of Shoalwater Bay, Washington, which is on the south end of Willipa Bay on the Pacific coast of Washington Territory just north of the entrance to the Columbia River. This chart details the waterways, depth soundings, bathymetry, bottom conditions, aids, and hazards to navigation, ranges, and bearings. Sailing directions and notes to the mariner are also given.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

All of our United States Coast Survey (USCS), United States Coast & Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), and similar maps and charts have been professionally unfolded and flattened using humidity baths, semi-permeable membrane, and drying blotter techniques. Most others you typically see on eBay have not been, and worse, are quickly and crudely unfolded for the low-quality photos you see. Unfolding these maps in that way is damaging and weakens them. Please be aware.
