About this map

Grays River Divide dominates the central topography of this coastal mountain region, serving as a significant hydrologic break between the north-flowing and south-flowing waters of Pacific and Wahkiakum counties. The complex drainage systems shown here are defined by the Naselle River and its Little Fork Naselle River to the northwest, while the southern slopes are drained by the Grays River and its major tributaries, including the W Fork Grays River and Shannon Cr.

A dense network of resource management roads, such as A Line Rd and the 7000 Rd, illustrates the intensive timber and land use patterns typical of the Pacific Northwest. These routes trace the contours around named landmarks like Sweigiler Cr and Salmon Cr, providing a detailed look at the rural infrastructure that supports the local river-and-forest economy. The transition from the high ridges down to the creek beds of Beaver Cr and Hull Cr highlights the intricate natural water network of the Willapa Hills area.
