About this map

Moclips and its neighboring coastal settlements line the rugged edge of the Pacific Ocean in this coastal Washington survey. The landscape is defined by the transition from the sandy shorelines at Sunset Beach and Pacific Beach to the rising elevations of Yellow Bluff and the inland forest roads. The coastal corridor is dotted with small residential developments like Highland Heights and Ocean Grove, while the local infrastructure includes the Copalis State Airport positioned near the striking formations of Copalis Rock and Copalis Head.

Moving inland, the terrain is shaped by the drainage systems of the Moclips River, Beaver Creek, and the Copalis River. These waterways, along with numerous smaller tributaries like Joe Creek and Boone Creek, have carved the landscape into a series of ridges and valleys. The presence of settlements like Aloha and Iron Springs indicates a long-standing human connection to this timber-rich and coastal region of Grays Harbor County.
