2013 Map of Blaney Creek

About this map

Grays River Salmon Pond sits at the heart of this coastal watershed, marking a landscape defined by the intricate headwaters of the Grays River. This corner of Southwest Washington shows a transition between the Willapa River drainage to the north and the complex river systems feeding into the Columbia River estuary to the south. The terrain is structured by prominent heights like Long Ridge and the Grays River Divide, which separate the various forks and tributaries including Blaney Cr, the South Fork Grays River, and the E Fork Grays River. The presence of the Blaney Lookout indicates the historical importance of fire observation across these timbered ridges. A dense network of logging roads, such as the 7400 Rd and D Line Rd, underscores the region's long-standing reliance on the forestry industry.
