About this map

The Willapa River dominates the geography of this mid-1980s Pacific County study, winding through tidal flats and feeding complex waterways like Ellis Slough. The city of Raymond sits at the river's bend, where the landscape transitions from industrial infrastructures like the Sewage Pond and various substations to the suburban residential layouts of East Raymond. To the northwest, the Butte Creek Picnic Area and a private Golf Course indicate the area's recreational land use alongside the working river.

Further upriver toward the east and south, the map documents smaller outposts including Willapa, Menlo, and Camp One. This region is defined by a dense network of tributaries such as Smith Creek, Elk Creek, and Ward Creek carving through the surrounding terrain. Notable local history points are preserved through the marking of several Cem sites and a specific Historical Marker located near a sharp oxbow in the river, south of the main township.
