About this map

North River meanders through this portion of the Pacific Northwest, marking a landscape defined by its intricate drainage systems and timber-oriented road networks. The boundary between Grays Harbor Co and Pacific Co bisects the terrain, illustrating the jurisdictional divide in this heavily forested region. Prominent elevations like Scar Hill overlook the convergence of numerous waterways, including Salmon Cr, Lower Salmon Cr, and the W Fork Elkhorn Cr.

Logging and resource management are evident in the naming of local routes such as Sprucedale Rd and C Line, which provide access to the interior hills. The mapping of Elkhorn Cr and Smith Cr shows the importance of these smaller tributaries to the larger river system during the early twenty-first century. This survey documents the region's geography before significant modern shifts in land use or nomenclature.
