1955 Map of Copalis Beach

About this map

Copalis River meets the coastline in this mid-century survey of the Grays Harbor County shore, where a string of small coastal communities lines the beach. The settlement at Copalis Beach is the most prominent, while the smaller outposts of Ocean City, Sampson, and Oyhut follow the coastline to the south. A narrow strip of sand dunes separates the ocean from an inland landscape of low-lying wetlands and drainage, including a notable Cranberry Bog and several named waterways like Connor Creek and Cedar Creek.
