About this map

The South Fork Nooksack River valley carves through the heart of this landscape, anchoring small settlements like Acme and Saxon. This corridor is defined by the steep rise of Van Zandt Dike to the east and the sprawling elevations of Lyman Hill and Anderson Mtn to the south. Historically significant features are scattered throughout the lowlands, including the Saxon Cem and the small airfield at Acme Field.

Transitioning into the Samish River drainage, the map reveals the village of Wickersham and the waters of Mirror Lake. The modern recreation path of the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail winds through the southern ridges, following the rugged topography that once supported timber and rail operations. From the small cluster at Doran to the crossing at Saxon Bridge, the map illustrates a network of rural roads such as Mosquito Lake Rd and Wickersham Truck Trl that link these valley communities.
