2017 Map of Sweigiler Creek

About this map

The Grays River Divide stands as the central topographic spine of this Pacific and Wahkiakum County landscape, separating the drainage systems of two major coastal river basins. To the north, the headwaters of the Naselle River and its tributaries, including the Little E Fork Naselle River and Ellis Cr, flow through heavily contoured timberlands. To the south, the terrain falls away toward the Grays River valley, fed by the West Fork Grays River and namesake Sweigiler Creek. This area is defined by its industrial forest use, evidenced by a dense network of forest roads such as 1000 Rd and A Line Rd that navigate the ridges and creek bottoms. The map documents the intricate hydrography of the Willapa Hills, where dozens of small streams like Hull Cr and Salmon Cr carve through the steep Pacific Northwest terrain.
