1980 Map of Acme

About this map

The South Fork Nooksack River valley defines this region of Whatcom and Skagit counties, where timber and transit shaped the landscape. In the center of the valley, the settlement of Acme sits near a Landing Strip, while further south, Wickersham serves as a junction near the Mirror Lake Siding. The map reveals the legacy of local infrastructure, including an Old Railroad Grade and the Saxon Bridge crossing the river near the Saxon Cem. On the valley's edges, the terrain rises sharply toward Blue Mountain and Eddys Mountain. This 1980 survey captures the area's mix of industry and agriculture, featuring a Fish Hatchery along Skookum Creek and scattered industrial sites like a Gravel Pit and a Quarry. Local genealogists will find value in the named homestead roads and small family-associated landmarks that persisted through the late twentieth century.
