About this map

Humptulips sits at a strategic crossing where the Humptulips River meets Stevens Creek, serving as a focal point for this Grays Harbor County landscape. The area is defined by its logging and resource-based infrastructure, evidenced by the Humptulips Gravel Quarry and the winding course of the Polson Camp Rd. As the river moves south, it passes through the flatlands of Axford Prairie near the settlement of Axford, a region historically tied to the timber industry and river-bottom agriculture.

The map reveals a dense network of local roads named for early families and settlers, such as Larson Brothers Rd, Sudderth Rd, and McAfee Rd, which grid the spaces between various drainages like Big Creek and Mopang Creek. The southern reaches transition into the Big Creek Bottoms and the headwaters of the West Fork Hoquiam River, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Olympic Peninsula's lower elevations.
