About this map

The Chehalis River and Wynoochee River define the intricate waterway systems of this coastal Washington region, where river bends and sloughs create a complex mosaic of islands and waterways. To the north, the Lake Aberdeen Hatchery sits just below the Aberdeen Lake Dam, while the landscape is dotted with evidence of local resource extraction at the Wynoochee Quarry and Wynoochee East Quarry. The settlement patterns are concentrated along established routes like Central Park Dr and Clemons Rd, serving the communities of Central Park and Alder Grove.

South of the main river channel, the terrain shifts into the dense drainage networks of the Little North River and North River. Here, small settlements like Artic and Melbourne are connected by winding roads through a landscape defined by significant water management features, including Bigelow Dam and Oestreich Dam. The map provides a detailed view of the sloughs that thread through the river valley, such as Preachers Slough and Mox-Chuck-Slough, illustrating the tidal influence and drainage patterns characteristic of the Grays Harbor area.
