About this map

Montesano serves as the focal point for this landscape where the Wynoochee River meets the larger Chehalis River valley. The map reveals the organized street grid of the town, including W Broadway Ave and E Simpson Ave, extending toward the neighboring settlements of South Montesano and Brady. North of the town center, Sylvia Lake and the Wynoochee Cem provide distinct landmarks for local history and genealogy research.

Industrial and natural water features dominate the river basin, including the Smith Canal, Metcalf Slough, and Moon Slough. To the south, the terrain transitions into a more intricate network of drainages and creeks, such as the Little North River, Salmon Cr, and W Fork Vesta Cr. This geography reflects the importance of the river systems to the regional development and drainage patterns of Grays Harbor County.
