2017 Map of Copalis Beach

About this map

Pacific Ocean swells meet a narrow, densely developed coastal strip in this detailed look at Grays Harbor County's northern peninsula. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the planned grid of Ocean Shores, where a complex network of residential streets like Magellan Ave NE and Cardinal Ave NE surrounds the elongated Duck Lake. This area contrasts with the more linear, highway-oriented development to the north, where smaller clusters such as Oyehut, Sampson, and Ocean City follow the coastline toward the mouth of the Copalis River. Transportation and recreation are central to the landscape, evidenced by the Ocean Shores Municipal Airport and Hogan's Corner Airport, alongside the numerous public access points to the beaches. Inland, the terrain softens into the wetlands of North Bay and the drainage of Cranberry Creek, illustrating the delicate balance between the maritime environment and the communities built upon it.
