Washington and Oregon Coast
The coast of Washington State and Oregon at 1:833,000 on a double-sided, indexed road map from GM Johnson and Associates highlighting various places of interest and providing street plans of coastal towns and resorts. Place names on the road map are in larger print than found on most other similar maps.The map is double-sided, with each state shown separately on one side. Coverage of Washington State extends northwards beyond Canadian border to include Vancouver and the south-eastern part of Vancouver Island with Nanaimo, plus eastward to show the Mount Rainier National Park. In Oregon, the map extends eastwards beyond the state highway No. 5 and includes Carter Lake National Park.Plain base with just colouring for different types of protected areas shows gravel roads and tracks, with driving distance on most local roads. Railway lines are included. Topography of the area is indicated by names/heights of peaks. National parks and other protected areas are prominently coloured according to their official status. Symbols indicate various places of interest including smaller parks and waysides, campgrounds, marine parks, etc. The map has no geographical coordinates. Each side has a separate index which also lists points of interest, a table showing what facilities can be found at state parks, etc, plus brief descriptions of places of interest.The main feature of the map, as stressed on its cover, is the large print for all the names shown on it. This is somewhat contradicted by the presentation of the numerous street plans. Although very clear, highlighting main traffic arteries and on longer street showing selected house numbers, these street plans are printed with names in normal font size used in such mapping. The plans show Anacortes, Port Angles, Port Townsend, Aberdeen, Victoria, Seaside, Astoria, Cannon Beach, Lincoln City, Newport, Brookings and Coos Bay ‘“ North Bend.
