About this map

Twin Harbors Beaches define this coastal landscape where the Pacific Ocean meets a series of inland lakes and cranberry bogs. This 2011 survey reveals a cluster of settlements including Grayland, Cohassett, and Bay City, situated along a low-lying strip of land separated from the mainland by the Elk River and Mallard Slough. The infrastructure reflects a blend of residential pockets and recreation, with sites like the Grayland Post Office and Kenanna Recreational Vehicle Park positioned among a grid of local roads such as Cranberry Rd and Marine Dr.

The hydrography of the region is notably complex, shaped by Drainage Ditch Number 1 and numerous small waterways like Seastrand Creek and Barlow Creek. The transition from the sandy shorelines of Cohassett Beach to the interior Seastrand Ridge illustrates the unique topography of this peninsula. Land use is a mix of small-scale agriculture at Roberts Farm and natural features like Grass Island and Laidlaw Island, showcasing the coastal ecology of the Pacific Northwest.
