From Astoria to Tongue Point, it's pretty clear that the highway follows the original route. Here, though, we have the first deviation east of Astoria where the "improved" US 30 bypasses the point. - A. F. Litt. 2020

At 100.7 m. [West of Portland] is TONGUE POINT STATE PARK; here is a junction with a gravel road.
Right on this road to TONGUE POINT LIGHTHOUSE SERVICE BASE, 0.7 m. Built on a projection extending into the wide mouth of the Columbia River, this base is the repair depot for the buoys that guide navigators along the watercourses of the two states. Tongue Point was so named by Broughton in 1792. A proposal to establish a naval air base at this point, agitated for many years, has been at last approved by Congress (1939) and funds appropriated for beginning construction.
