About this map

Copalis Crossing serves as a central point in this coastal landscape, where the Copalis Crossing Post Office anchors a rural network of roads and waterways. The map illustrates a complex drainage system into North Bay, dominated by the winding path of the Humptulips River and its numerous sloughs, including Kurtz Slough and Jessie Slough. To the south, the Campbell Slough Dam regulates the water flow near the settlement of Burrows, while Gray Gables sits further south along the shore.

The presence of small named localities like Tulips, Newton, and Wilderness suggests a pattern of historic timber or agricultural hubs. The topography is defined by prominent rises such as Langley Hill and Saddle Hill, which overlook the lowland creeks and the expansive tidal channels of Chenois Creek. This 2011 survey captures the transition from the wooded uplands to the marshy coastal inlets of Grays Harbor County.
