In the 1862 report on the progress of Superintendent of the Coast Survey's Shoalwater Bay is described as follows.
"The bold cliffs of Cape Disappointment, after extending about three miles northward, change suddenly to a low, broad, sandy beach, running N. by W. half W. 18 miles, in nearly a straight line to the southern point of the entrance to Shoalwater Bay. A mile and a quarter behind this beach lies the southern arm of the bay. Its waters reach within a mile or two of the north side of the cape, and the portage from them to the Wappalooche, emptying into Baker's Bay, is said to be about a mile long, and always used by the Indians and settlers. The peninsula thus formed is covered with trees and a dense undergrowth of bushes. Within half a mile of its extremity it becomes very low and sandy, and has a covering of coarse grass, but no trees. This point was called Low Point by Meares in July, 1788. On the Recent Coast Survey charts it is named Leadbetter Point. The Indian designation is Chik-lis-ilh. Its approximated geogrphical position, as given by the Coast Survey, is:
Latitude 46º 36' 45" North, Longitude 124º 00' 45" West, Or in time 8 hours 16 minutes 3.0 seconds."
