North Fork
The North Fork Newaukum River originates in the Cascade Range at 46°42′26″N 122°35′15″W / 46.7073263°N 122.5876178°W / 46.7073263; -122.5876178 (North Fork Newaukum River source). It flows generally west for approximately 19 miles (31 km) miles, entering a broad valley near its confluence with Mitchell Creek, after which it flows south and southwest. In Newaukum Prairie it is joined by the Middle Fork Newaukum River. Shortly below the Middle Fork confluence the North Fork joins the South Fork to form the mainstem Newaukum River.
The cities of Chehalis and Centralia divert part of the North Fork's waters for municipal use at river mile 12.5

Famous quotes containing the words north and/or fork:
“The discovery of the North Pole is one of those realities which could not be avoided. It is the wages which human perseverance pays itself when it thinks that something is taking too long. The world needed a discoverer of the North Pole, and in all areas of social activity, merit was less important here than opportunity.”
—Karl Kraus (1874–1936)
“Wherever a man separates from the multitude, and goes his own way in this mood, there indeed is a fork in the road, though ordinary travelers may see only a gap in the paling. His solitary path across lots will turn out the higher way of the two.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
