2017 Map of Copalis Crossing

About this map

Humptulips River and its intricate network of sloughs dictate the landscape of this coastal Washington region, where the river meets the tide at the Campbell Slough Channel. Small rural settlements like Copalis Crossing, Newton, and Tulips are scattered along the valley floor, connected by roads such as Kirkpatrick Rd and Powell Rd. The map illustrates a transitional environment between the higher elevations of Langley Hill and Saddle Hill and the complex wetlands where Jessie Slough and Kurtz Slough feed into the estuary. To the south, the community of Gray Gables sits near the winding paths of Chenois Creek and Grass Creek. The presence of numerous Pvt Logging Rd labels suggests the ongoing importance of the timber industry in shaping the local infrastructure and access points throughout the late twentieth century.
