In the Northwest, the Columbia River location ranked eighteenth in urgency for construction, with batteries begun at Fort Stevens, Oregon, in 1896; and, at Chinook Point and Fort Canby, Washington, in 1897 and 1899.

The Fort McDowell Endicott batteries of 1899 to 1901 on Angel Island—Drew, Ledyard, and Wallace—are especially noteworthy from the vantage of engineering history, and although they presently are managed under the ownership of the State of California, may merit cross-referencing during later research efforts for the National Park Service properties.
