2014 Map of Alger

About this map

Alger serves as a central hub in this Skagit County landscape, situated where the Samish River valley meets the foothills of Anderson Mtn. The 2014 survey reveals a transition from the elevated peaks in the east to the agricultural flats of Jarman Prairie and Butler Flat. This era is defined by a mix of long-standing community landmarks and specialized agricultural operations, ranging from the Silver Run Grange and Hickson Community Hall to local family-run ventures like Two Bobs Dairy, De Boer Dairy, and Dans Dairy. The drainage network is particularly dense, with Friday Cr and Butler Cr feeding into the main river channel, which is spanned by the Samish River Bridge. Significant land features like Humphrey Hill and Warner Prairie delineate the small communities of Belfast, Hoogdal, and the evocatively named Garden of Eden.
