About this map

The ridge of Blue Mtn anchors this section of the Pacific Northwest, where the headwaters of numerous coastal streams carve through the timberlands. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including the complex forks of Raimie Cr and the westward flow of the N River. This 2020 survey illustrates the remote character of the border between Grays Harbor and Pacific counties, a region primarily accessed via gravel logging arteries like Brooklyn Rd and N River Rd.

Historically, the drainage patterns shown here, from Rock Cr in the north to Martin Cr in the south, have been integral to the regional timber industry. The map provides a clear look at the topographic relief and the network of forest roads that service these watersheds, including Sullivan Cr and Pioneer Cr. It reflects a modern era of land management where the primary human footprint remains these winding corridors through the dense, creek-cut hills.
