About this map

The settlement of Alger and its surrounding rural topography define this portion of Skagit County, where the hills rise sharply from agricultural flats. This modern survey illustrates a landscape of high ridges and named prairies, including Anderson Mtn and Humphrey Hill, which overlook productive lowlands like Warner Prairie and Jarman Prairie. The Samish River meanders through the central valley, crossed by the Samish River Bridge as it flows toward Butler Flat.

The southeastern corner of the map captures the outskirts of Sedro-Woolley and the quaintly named Garden of Eden area. This document provides a clear view of the transition from dense forest to the grid of valley roads such as Colony Rd and Prairie Rd. Local researchers can trace the course of numerous waterways, from Silver Cr in the north to Willard Cr and Brickyard Cr in the south, reflecting the region's complex drainage and longstanding timber and farming heritage.
