1941 Map of Ford

About this map

The Chehalis River corridor in Grays Harbor County defines this 1941 tactical survey, revealing a landscape deeply integrated with the timber and transit industries of the pre-war era. Extensive rail networks, including the Northern Pacific and its Grays Harbor Branch, parallel the river valley, connecting small settlements like Malone and Cedarville. The presence of the Schafer Logging RR near the confluence with the Satsop River highlights the active logging operations that shaped the local economy. Beyond the floodplain, the topography rises sharply toward Minot Peak, where the dense contour lines indicate the transition from the valley floor to the high ridges of the surrounding forest. Local road networks, including Russell Riding Rd and Norton Road, serve as the primary links for smaller communities like Ford and Lanker, mapping out the rural settlement patterns of early twentieth-century Washington.
