About this map

The Chehalis River carves a winding path through this portion of Grays Harbor County, creating a broad valley floor known as Ford Prairie. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Black Hills and the timberlands of the Capitol State Forest. Small riverside communities like Malone and Porter serve as focal points for the region's rural life, connected by roads that parallel the river's course.

The landscape is characterized by its drainage network, with Mox Chehalis Creek, Cedar Creek, and Rock Creek feeding into the main river channel. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is present through numerous Borrow Pits and a central Substation. Genealogists and local historians can locate the small Cem near the river and trace established property boundaries through the detailed section and township lines that define this timber and agricultural corridor.
