2020 Map of Shelton Valley

About this map

Shelton anchors the northeastern edge of this Mason County landscape, where the urban grid gives way to a network of valleys and winding creeks. To the west, the terrain rises toward Dayton Peak, a prominent landmark overlooking several distinct rural communities including Dayton, Little Egypt Valley, and Lost-Prairie. The aviation presence at Sanderson Field and the quiet grounds of Shelton Memorial Park highlight the region's infrastructure and community heritage. Numerous water bodies define the drainage patterns of the area, from the larger Gosnell Cr and Cloquallum Cr to the smaller Armstrong Lake and Catfish Lake. The map reveals a transition from the structured development around the county seat to the sprawling drainages of the Goldsborough Cr system, illustrating the interplay between the lowland valleys and the surrounding upland topography.
