1957 Map of Nemah

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Willapa Bay dominates this coastal landscape, where the tides shape the complex interactions of river mouths and salt marshes in Pacific County. The 1950s shoreline is defined by expansive areas of mud and tidal flats, protected in part by the southern reaches of the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge. Coastal settlements like Rhodesia Beach and the inland community of Nemah are connected by a network of early roads, including Dike Road and Gatens Road, which navigate the low-lying terrain. The map records a working landscape of named holdings such as Rose Ranch and Minks Ranch alongside the intricate branching of the Palix River and Nemah River systems. Water navigation is critical, evidenced by the detailed charting of the Nahcotta Channel, Stanley Channel, and navigation aids like the Mission Azimuth marker.
