About this map

The coastal interface of Grays Harbor County and Pacific County is defined by a low-lying landscape of cranberry bogs and tidal inlets. Along the edge of the Pacific Ocean, small settlements like Grayland and Heather are linked by a grid of local roads including Cranberry Beach Rd and Seahurst Rd. The northern portion of the map transitions into the estuarine environment of Grays Harbor, where South Bay and Sopun Inlet surround islands such as Grass Island and Laidlaw Island.

One of the most curious landmarks in the region is the Grayland Intergalactic Airport, situated amidst the coastal wetlands east of the main settlement. The topography rises slightly inland toward Seastrand Ridge, where drainage from the N Fork Cedar River and Cedar River flows through the dense network of coastal creeks. This 2020 record illustrates the enduring character of this maritime and agricultural community, bounded by the shore and the tidal waters of Mallard Slough.
