About this map

Johns River and its numerous tributaries dominate this coastal landscape at the boundary of Grays Harbor and Pacific counties. The intricate drainage network of the Elk River and its branches, including the Middle Br Elk River and E Br Elk River, highlights the tidal and freshwater systems characteristic of this Pacific Northwest region. Along the northern edge, a small portion of the Grays Harbor inlet is visible, while the southern reaches meet the waters of Willapa Bay.

Evidence of local land use is primarily reflected in the named water features and the presence of Johns River Rd. Features like Crawford Ditch suggest historical modifications to the natural drainage, while names such as Atwood Cr and Florence Cr may provide clues for genealogical research into the area's early landholders. The southern extent is marked by the North River and the winding course of the Cedar River.
