About this map

Raymond sits at the confluence of the Willapa River and the South Fork Willapa River, serving as a central hub for the surrounding timber and coastal lowlands. This modern survey illustrates the dense network of logging roads and land management tracts, such as the Farm Service Agency Interest of Washington, that define the upland interior. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several notable burial sites including Washington Cem, Riddell Street Cem, and the Giesy Family Cem.

The landscape transitions from the developed streets of Raymond Heights to the broader Willapa Valley, where the Willapa Hills State Park Trl follows a former rail corridor through the countryside. Water management is prominent throughout the quadrangle, evidenced by infrastructure like the Raymond Heights Reservoir, Butte Cr Reservoir, and Case Pond. From the tidal influence of Ellis Slough to the many named tributaries like Ward Creek and Ellsworth Creek, the map provides a contemporary record of the region's complex hydrology.
