Columbia River Map?

Laserman · 02-07-2004, 03:20 PM

Can someone help me find a detailed map (showing all buoy markers)of the lower Columbia River; online. I would like to check out the areas covered in the new Sanctuary-B that effects the closed areas for the commercial fishing at the mouth of the Lewis,Kalama and Cowlitz. I was hoping to find something online that I can look at so that I don't have to buy new charts . Any help would be appreciated.

For this one you use smartchart. For the maptech one below, you select marine charts instead of topo

This site I found seems great! It's free, as such:

Here is the markers at the mouth of the Lewis River:

ZOOM to get the right view.

CLICK around to get where you want the map to be, exactly.

Click on "Fun Tools", then click "Print My Maps" to get a more printer-friendly version, and one that fills up more of your screen.

Again ,thank you everyone. The map shows that the new Sanctuarys in place give lees protection to our fish. The gill-nettes will now be able to acually fish up in the mouth of the lewis. If anyone would be willing to sign a petition, to try and reverse this last minute change by TAC. I will be more than happy to put something together. Please, I need help though.
