About this map

The Hoquiam waterfront and the industrial shoreline of Grays Harbor dominate this coastal survey. The convergence of the Hoquiam River and the Chehalis River creates a complex network of estuarine channels, including the North Channel, Middle Channel, and South Channel. This aquatic geography is interrupted by features like Moon Island—home to Bowerman Airport—and the tidal flats of the Bowerman Basin. To the north, the town grid of Hoquiam transitions into the rising terrain of Brackenridge Bluff, while the city's cemetery, Sunset Memorial Park Cem, sits near the river bend.

South of the harbor, smaller settlements such as Markham and Ocosta are situated along the winding paths of Johns River and O'Leary Creek. The landscape here is defined by these small tributaries, including Beaver Creek and Gold Creek, which drain the wooded bluffs toward the harbor. From the residential streets of Grays Harbor City to the salt marshes of South Arbor, the map documents a region deeply tied to its maritime and riverine environment.
