About this map

The Port Blakely area in Pacific County reveals a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways draining toward the coast. This rural portion of Southwest Washington is characterized by a high density of small settlements that follow the natural topography of the creek beds and river valleys. Named locations such as Burt, Bedford, and Davis are interspersed among the drainages of the Fall River and its various tributaries, suggesting a history of dispersed agricultural or timber-based settlement.

The presence of Swem and Elk Creek alongside numerous named water bodies like Smith Creek and Little Elk Creek underscores the importance of local hydrology to the region's development. This 2023 edition documents the modern road system as it navigates the terrain between t15n r6w and t13n r7w, providing a clear view of how contemporary infrastructure overlays the historical land divisions and natural features of this Pacific County quadrant.
