About this map

The Grays Harbor Co Pacific Co boundary bisects this mid-century topographic record of a landscape dominated by a complex drainage network. The North River meanders through the western half of the sheet, supported by a system of tributaries including Salmon Creek and Lower Salmon Creek. Evidence of local industry and resource management appears in the form of a Quarry and a Gaging Sta, reflecting the functional use of the land between the peaks. The topography is defined by the prominent Divide between the Johns River system and the southern creeks. While major settlements are absent, the map documents the intricate flow of water through the coastal timberlands, from the East Fork American River to the southern reaches of Smith Creek.
