About this map

The Chehalis River meanders through the heart of this landscape, its wide floodplain punctuated by riparian features such as Higgins Island and Bents Island. This drainage system is complex, fed by numerous sloughs and tributaries including Mox Chuck Slough, Peels Slough, and Blue Slough. The settlement pattern follows the valley's contours, with Central Park and Montesano serving as primary hubs of activity along the corridor.

South of the main river valley, the terrain becomes more varied as it rises into the hills drained by the Little N River and North River. Smaller communities like Melbourne and the settlement of Artic anchor these rural stretches, while the northern reaches transition into the Wynoochee Valley. The road network, including Wynooche Rd W and N River Rd, highlights the historical importance of river access and valley-bottom transit in Grays Harbor County.
