About this map

The Willapa Valley serves as the central artery of this Pacific County landscape, where the Willapa River winds through a series of small riverside settlements. Along its course, established communities like Lebam, Holcomb, and Frances are connected by a road network that often mirrors the path of the river and the Old Railroad Grade to the north. This mid-1980s data illustrates a rural economy tied to the land and water, evidenced by the Fish Hatchery near Nallpee and various resource extraction points such as the Gravel Pit near Globe.

Elevations rise sharply away from the valley floor toward Pande Ridge in the north and the timbered highlands to the south. Numerous tributaries including Trap Creek, Fork Creek, and Silver Creek drain into the main valley, defining the local topography. Local landmarks like the Gaging Station and several small Cem sites provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of these timber-country outposts.
