About this map

The Willapa River dominates the landscape as it winds through Pacific County, connecting the commercial centers of South Bend and Raymond. The tidal complexity of the region is evident in the network of waterways such as Mailboat Slough, Johnson Slough, and Fredrickson Slough that feed into the expansive Willapa Bay. The river's path narrows through a specific reach appropriately labeled the Narrows, where the local infrastructure of South Bend meets the water at Water St.

Evidence of historical resource management and transportation is found in the Old Mill Pond and the S Bend City Reservoir, while the Willapa Harbor Airport serves as a modern waypoint along Wa-105. Small settlements and landmarks like Welsh Ranch and Range Point indicate the dispersed nature of habitation along the bay's edge, while Fellows Cemetery Rd points toward the community's genealogical roots in the hills overlooking the river bend.
