About this map

Montesano serves as the focal point of this Grays Harbor County survey, situated where the Wynoochee River meets the wide floodplains of the Chehalis River. The landscape is defined by the contrast between the organized street grids of the town and the intricate, wandering waterways like Metcalf Slough and Moon Slough to the south. North of the town center, Sylvia Lake and its surrounding creek system provide a sharp transition from the valley floor to the timbered uplands.

Transport patterns reveal the area's evolution, with the Old 410 Hwy and Monte Brady Rd connecting the main settlement to the community of Brady in the east. The southern half of the map is dominated by a dense network of forest roads, such as the A-Line and G Line Rd, and numerous drainages including the Little North River and Salmon Cr, illustrating the region's reliance on the surrounding timberlands and watershed management.
