About this map

The South Fork Nooksack River valley defines this landscape in the 1980s, where the small community of Acme sits as a central hub near the confluence of Jones Creek and McCarty Creek. The settlement pattern reflects a history tied to the valley floor, with the railroad running parallel to the river and connecting key points like Wickersham, Ennis, and Doran. Infrastructure including a Landing Strip near Acme and an extensive Aqueduct system highlights the specialized utility of the corridor during this era.

Industrial and community markers are found throughout the foothills of Blue Mountain and Lonesome Pond. Researchers can identify specific local landmarks such as the Saxon Cem, a Fish Hatchery along Skookum Creek, and resource extraction sites like the Quarry on Lyman Hill. The transition from the alluvial valley to the high ridges of Van Zandt Dike and Eddys Mountain is detailed by numerous timber-access routes like the Wickersham Truck Trail.
