Elk Creek Pacific County, Washington
ELK CREEK: A logging camp in the Willapa Hills in the 1920s. Located on the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul Railroad route from Chehalis to Raymond. One of the shortlived camps which appeared and disappeared as the hills surrounding the camps were clearcut of old growth timber. Elk Creek camp was established by the Sunset Timber Company in 1925. The name was derived from the location of the camp at the junction of Elk Creek and Little Elk Creek.
