2017 Map of South Bend

About this map

South Bend occupies a sharp bend in the tidal waters where the Willapa River enters the broad expanse of Willapa Bay. The town's layout follows the shoreline, with streets like Water St and Robert Bush Dr hugging the riverfront, while residential blocks climb the hills toward the South Bend City Reservoir. This 2017 survey illustrates the complex geography of the Pacific Northwest coast, defined by an intricate network of marshes and waterways including Fredrickson Slough, Mailboat Slough, and Stony Slough. The maritime and industrial character of the region is evident in landmarks such as the Willapa Harbor Airport and Old Mill Pond, which sits just west of the downtown core. In the northern reaches, the terrain is shaped by numerous creek drainages like Smith Cr, Eagle Cr, and Clearwater Cr, while to the south, the North Fork Palix River and Bone River wind through the hills.
