About this map

The Pacific coastline of Grays Harbor County is defined by prominent sea stacks and rocky outcrops, most notably Tunnel Island and the adjacent Elephant Rock. This 2014 survey documents a rugged maritime interface where the Raft River and Whale Cr meet the ocean through steep coastal bluffs. The interior terrain is heavily dissected by numerous drainages, including the N Fork Raft River and Rainy Cr, accessible primarily via an extensive network of Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) forest roads.

The distribution of labels like Pratt Cliff, Hogsback, and Willoughby Rock along the shoreline highlights a landscape shaped by relentless surf. This territory, part of the Quinault Indian Reservation, shows very few permanent settlements, instead featuring a complex grid of resource management routes such as Bia 7000 RD and Bia 7500 RD. These roads provide the primary infrastructure for navigating the dense drainage basins of Camp Cr and Duck Cr.
