About this map

The Humptulips River dominates this coastal landscape, winding through a complex network of sloughs and channels as it reaches Grays Harbor North Bay. Small settlements like Copalis Crossing, Newton, and Tulips are scattered across the terrain, connected by rural routes such as Shelgren Rd and Copalis Beach Rd. The area is characterized by its transition from timbered uplands near Langley Hill to the tidal influence of the Oyhut Channel and Grass Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the paths of long-standing family-named roads like Kirkpatrick Rd and Robertson Rd that service the river valley. The intricate waterways, including Jessie Slough and Burg Slough, illustrate the region's historical reliance on water systems for both drainage and transportation. Near the coast, Gray Gables sits along the Chenois Creek Channel, marking the intersection of land and harbor life.
