1986 Map of Elkhorn Creek

About this map

The North River meanders through this portion of the Pacific Northwest, marking the transition across the Grays Harbor and Pacific County line. This mid-1980s landscape is defined by its intricate drainage network, where the West Fork and the main stem of Elkhorn Creek converge amidst rising terrain. Significant landmarks like Scar Hill overlook a territory carved by numerous named waterways, including Salmon Creek, Joe Creek, and Tuttle Creek. The topographic detail shows a land primarily shaped by its hydrology and natural relief rather than dense human settlement, illustrating the rural character of the timber-rich borderlands between these two counties as they appeared toward the end of the 20th century.
