About this map

Bellingham serves as the focal point of this Whatcom County survey, where urban development meets the foothills of the North Cascades. The map details a landscape transitioning from the industrial waterfront of Bellingham Bay and the Whatcom Creek Waterway to the residential communities of Geneva and Silver Beach along the shores of Lake Whatcom. Significant civic and educational infrastructure is evident, including the Whatcom County Courthouse and Whatcom Community College, alongside industrial markers like Larson Mill.

Beyond the city core, the map reveals a network of rural settlements such as Laurel, Victor, and Van Wyck connected by early transportation corridors and the BNSF Railway. Notable local landmarks like King Mtn and Squalicum Mtn rise above a complex drainage system of Tenmile Creek and Squalicum Creek. The area’s history is further grounded by numerous memorial sites, including the Ten Mile Cem, Bayview Cem, and Congregation Beth Israel Cem.
