2020 Map of South Bend

About this map

South Bend and Raymond serve as the primary hubs on this Pacific County landscape, situated where the Willapa River meets Willapa Bay. The river's path through The Narrows emphasizes the area's historical reliance on tidal waterways for transport and industry, further evidenced by the presence of Old Mill Pond. As the county seat, South Bend is anchored by the Pacific County Courthouse and supported by infrastructure like the South Bend City Reservoir and Willapa Harbor Airport. This 2020 record of the region shows the conversion of former rail lines into the Willapa Hills State Park Trail, illustrating the shift from industrial timber transport to recreational use. Extensive sloughs, including Fredrickson Slough and Skidmore Slough, carve into the timbered hills, while local road names such as Odd Fellows Cemetery Rd and Smith Green House Rd provide specific points of interest for local history and genealogy research.
