1986 Map of Brooklyn

About this map

Brooklyn sits at the southern confluence of the North River and Fall River in this 1980s topographical study of the timber country along the Grays Harbor and Pacific County line. The settlement pattern is sparse, defined by small clusters of activity such as Vesta and its associated Vesta Creek drainage. A local Cem near the river provides a point of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in this part of Washington. The landscape is dominated by a dense network of watercourses including Smith Creek, Elkhorn Creek, and Salmon Creek, which carve through the high ground. A notable Footbridge spans the North River in the northwestern section, indicating pedestrian or light access routes that existed before modern infrastructure expansion. The map reflects a period when the economy was deeply tied to these river valleys and the surrounding forests.
