About this map

Huckleberry Ridge and the Skamokawa Pass define the high terrain of Wahkiakum County in this 2013 survey, where the landscape transitions into the deep drainages of the Elochoman River system. The map reveals a specialized pattern of use, with industrial and conservation sites like the Elochoman Hatchery and State Camp situated along the valley floors. Settlement is concentrated in the sheltered lowlands of Skamokawa Valley and East Valley, where Wilson Cr and Alger Cr converge.

A network of specialized routes, including Bradley Truck Rd and Camp Rd, suggests the ongoing importance of the timber and resource economy. The hydrology is particularly detailed, tracing the N Fork Elochoman River and W Fork Elochoman River as they carve through the ridges toward the Upper Elochoman Valley. This document captures the intersection of managed forest lands and the small, river-oriented communities of southwest Washington.
