About this map

The East Fork Satsop River and Middle Fork Satsop River define this corner of Mason County, where the landscape transitions between wetlands and prairie. The small communities of Matlock and Deckerville serve as anchors in an area deeply tied to its hydrology and timber heritage, evidenced by the presence of Logging Rd and several National Forest Development Roads. To the west, the Grays Harbor County line crosses through Frisken Wye, marking the jurisdictional edge of the Olympic Peninsula foothills.

Local landmarks such as Martins Bridge and Turnow Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The natural geography is notably diverse, featuring the open Carstairs Prairie alongside the saturated terrain of Deckerville Swamp and Cranberry Marsh. Numerous tributaries, including Decker Cr, Bingham Cr, and the seasonal Dry Bed Cr, weave through the township, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Satsop river system.
