Mouth of the Columbia River
DESCRIPTION
A large detailed chart of the Mouth of Columbia River Oregon Territory showing Cape Hancock or Disappointment and Point Adams at the entry of the river, to Young's Bay, Baker's Bay, Township of Astoria and on to Tongue Point and Gray Point on the east. Highly detailed bathymetry, soundings, channels, breakers, ranges and hazards are shown. Detailed sailing directions, tides, currents and notes are given. A very nice detailed elevation view of the entrance to Columbia River and Cape Hancock with point of interest and bearings noted.
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.
