2020 Map of Skamokawa Pass

About this map

Skamokawa Pass serves as a geographic focus in this drainage-heavy portion of Wahkiakum County, where the headwaters of the Elochoman River system carve through the high ground. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations like Huckleberry Ridge and Crown Point, which separate numerous creek valleys. Small settlements such as East Valley and Upper Elochoman Valley are connected by a network of specialized routes, including the Elochoman Mainline and Elochoman Valley Rd. These roads suggest an active timber-based economy, with names like Bradley Truck Trl and Crown Camp Rd marking the movement of resources through the hills. This landscape reveals a complex network of tributaries, from McDonald Cr in the northwest to Duck Cr in the south, illustrating the intricate hydrology of the Pacific Northwest uplands.
