2023 Map of Elkhorn Creek

About this map

The North River winds through this heavily forested timberland corner of southwest Washington, marking the divide between Grays Harbor Co and Pacific Co. This modern topographic survey highlights a landscape defined by its drainage network and a network of logging and access routes like N River Rd and Spruce Dale Rd. The terrain is dominated by prominent elevations such as Scar Hill and dissected by numerous water bodies including Salmon Creek, Joe Creek, and the intricate headwaters of the West Fork Elkhorn Creek. A system of secondary roads and forest lines, such as C Line and Smith Creek Rd, provides evidence of the ongoing role of the timber industry in this Pacific Northwest backcountry. The map clearly delineates the township and range boundaries of t16n r8w and t15n r8w, offering a precise view of the local land use patterns at the edge of the coastal range.
