1986 Map of Elkhorn Creek

About this map

North River meanders through the forested terrain of southwest Washington in this mid-1980s topographical study. The landscape is defined by its intricate drainage network, where the West Fork Elkhorn Creek and Elkhorn Creek converge to join the primary river system. This area, straddling the border between Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties, shows a region heavily shaped by timber management and waterway access. The map reveals the elevation changes of Star Hill and the winding paths of smaller tributaries like Salmon Creek, Smith Creek, and Tuttle Creek. Unlike many coastal quadrangles, this interior region is focused on the remote watersheds and section lines of the Willapa Hills, providing a clear view of the rural geography and natural drainage patterns before modern commercial developments altered the secondary road networks.
