About this map

Hoquiam and its neighboring settlements occupy the northern shores of Grays Harbor, where the Hoquiam River meets the Pacific tides. This early 21st-century landscape is defined by its deep connection to the water, from the residential grid of East Hoquiam and Woodlawn to the industrial and aviation infrastructure at Bowerman Airport and Moon Island. The map provides a detailed view of the town's core, including the Hoquiam Post Office and Sunset Memorial Park, while also tracing the westward spread toward Grays Harbor City.

South across the harbor, the terrain shifts to a network of drainage creeks and timberland. Small communities like Markham and South Arbor are tucked along the coast near Stearns Bluff. This area is characterized by a complex hydrography of salmon-bearing waters including the Johns River, Stafford Creek, and O'Leary Creek, illustrating the transition from urban port activity to the managed forests of the Olympic Peninsula periphery.
