About this map

Grays River and the Deep River converge near the northern shores of Grays Bay, defining a landscape of tidal sloughs and riverine settlements in Wahkiakum County. The small community of Rosburg sits at the junction of several local routes, including Oneida Rd and Altoona-Pillar Rock Rd. This area is notable for its high density of burial sites relative to its population, including the Salmon Creek Cem Old and Seal River Cem, which provide significant data points for genealogical research in this coastal corner of Washington.

Further south, the terrain transitions from the marshy lowlands of Halaya Slough to the prominent heights of Altoona Hill and Pigeon Bluff overlooking the Columbia River. The map captures the specialized geography of the riverfront, where the Astoria Range and Miller Sands Range navigate the shipping channels. In the east, Eden Valley and its namesake Eden Valley Cem mark a distinct inland drainage separated from the bay by the rising elevations of Wilcox Hill and Rangila Hill.
