About this map

New London sits at the confluence of several vital waterways in this Grays Harbor County survey, where the West Fork Hoquiam River meets the main stem of the Hoquiam River. This landscape is defined by its industrial and municipal utility, containing the extensive City of Hoquiam Watershed and the Hoquiam Water Works. The terrain is marked by numerous resource extraction sites, including several Borrow Pits and the Hoover Borrow Pit, alongside a Quarry near Deep Creek.

Transportation patterns are visible through the Old Railroad Grade and the Junction in the eastern hills, reflecting the timber and rail history of the Pacific Northwest. Recreational and infrastructure landmarks such as Green Banks Roadside Park, a Substation, and a Trailer Park near the southern edge of the map provide a look at the mid-to-late 20th-century development of the area. Significant water features like Failor Lake and Polson Slough weave through the densely contoured timberlands.
