About this map

Skamokawa sits at the heart of this coastal Washington landscape, where the Columbia River meets a network of sloughs and valleys. This 2014 survey illustrates the complex geography of the river's north bank, detailing the Skamokawa Channel, Brooks Slough, and Steamboat Slough which wrap around Price Island and Welch Island. The settlement pattern follows the drainages northward into Middle Valley, West Valley, and East Valley, showing how the local population is distributed along the creek beds and lowlands between the rising coastal hills.

Local landmarks such as the Wahkiakum County Fairgrounds and the Fern Hill Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The map also documents the transportation and utility corridors, including Wa-4 and a major Powerline Rd, alongside the small Skamokawa East Valley Airport. Terrain features like Lutes Mtn and Grays River Divide define the boundaries of these agricultural and residential valleys.
