About this map

The Chehalis River winds through this Lewis County landscape, anchoring the town of Pe Ell and the surrounding agricultural and timber lands. The settlement of Pe Ell serves as the primary hub, featuring a street grid that includes W Chehalis Ave and the Pe Ell Post Office. To the west, the smaller communities of McCormick and Walville sit along the creek drainage systems, connected by Walville Rd and McCormick Creek Rd.

Distinctive geographic features like Pe Ell Prairie and Jones Bluff overlook the river valley, while the southern terrain rises toward Huckleberry Ridge and Joy Mountain. Water resources are central to the area's development, evidenced by the Lester Creek Reservoir Dam and named points like Murphys Hole and Fisk Falls. This 2011 survey documents a region where local names like Helmicks Pond and Mullers Canyon reflect a long history of family presence and land use in western Washington.
