2023 Map of Wynoochee Valley SW

About this map

The Wynoochee River carves a winding path through this corner of Grays Harbor County, anchoring a landscape where river bottomlands meet the rising timbered ridges of the Wynoochee Valley. Near the southern edge of the survey, the northern reaches of Aberdeen appear along the banks of Wedekind Creek and Caldwell Creek, illustrating the city's inland expansion toward the valley floor. The map detail reflects a modern rural infrastructure defined by long-established timber and access routes like Wynoochee Valley Rd and Old Wynoochee Rd. Numerous smaller drainages, including Geisler Creek and Mooney Creek, create a complex hydraulic network that has historically dictated the placement of roads and homesteads. This 2023 edition documents the contemporary footprint of the valley just north of the Chehalis River confluence, showing how topography and water continue to shape the boundary between the urban edge and the coastal forest.
