About this map

Hoquiam sits at the confluence of several major waterways where the Hoquiam River and the Middle Channel meet the Chehalis River. This 2014 survey documents the industrial and maritime layout of Grays Harbor, showing the transition from the concentrated urban streets of the city center to the outlying settlements of Woodlawn and Grays Harbor City. The geography is defined by significant estuarine features like Moon Island, which houses the Bowerman Airport, and the prominent Rennie Island situated in the river mouth.

To the south and west, the map details the rugged coastal bluffs and tidal flats around Markham and South Arbor. These areas are deeply bifurcated by numerous drainage systems, including the Johns River and O'Leary Creek. The road network, including State Route 109 and Wa-105, connects these disparate timber and fishing communities, while landmarks like Sunset Memorial Park and the Bridge Simpson Avenue provide fixed points for local genealogical and historical research.
