2014 Map of McCleary

About this map

McCleary serves as the central hub of this area where the Black Hills meet the valley floor, located along the Wa-8 corridor in southeastern Grays Harbor County. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Cloquallum Cr, Mox Chehalis Cr, and W Fork Wildcat Cr, which carved the terrain long before modern development. Small communities and named locales such as Garden City, Rayville, and Malone dot the southern half of the map, connected by a network of timber and access roads including the Elma McCleary Rd and Old Sand Creek Rd. Genealogists may find interest in the McCleary Pythian Cem or the specific street grids of the town, while the northern reaches transitions into more isolated territory like Dear Valley and the area around Stump Lake. The presence of the Bear Valley Skyranch Airport and several prairie openings like Mohners Prairie reflect the region's mix of aviation, forestry, and rural residential life.
