1956 Map of Western

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The settlement of Western serves as a focal point near the northern edge of this coastal Washington landscape, situated along the winding course of the Johns River. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including the Elk River and Cedar River, which reveal the hydrological complexity of the region before modern developments fully altered the natural flow. In the north, the Johns River State Wildlife Recreation Area marks a significant conservation zone where the river meets man-made features like Crawford Ditch. Along the southern reach, the North River is constrained by an extensive Levee, showing early efforts to manage the wetlands for agriculture or flood control. This survey provides a clear look at local landmarks such as BM 12 and various named tributaries like Florence Creek and Archer Creek, capturing the transition between the upland timber areas and the tidal river valleys.
