Caption on image: Camp 1F, Palix River, 57th Spruce Sqdn.  C. Kinsey Photo, Seattle.  No. 67x  PH Coll 516.4584<br>The Palix River rises in the high country south of South Bend in west central Pacific County and flows west to Willapa Harbor at Bay Center. Three forks of the river join in a wide tidal estuary. The name is Chinook Indian, meaning "slough covered with trees." The middle fork is known as Tomhays River, for an Indian who lived at the river forks in the 1850s. The middle fork appears on some old maps as Canyon River. In 1857, James G. Swan called the stream Palux River in his journals. Another early version of the name is Copalux River.
