About this map

Bertrand Creek winds through a landscape defined by its riparian corridors and an established grid of agricultural and rural residential roads. The southern portion of this Whatcom County region is anchored by the fringes of Ferndale and the settlement of Custer, while the western edge of Lynden sits to the east. A history of local education and aviation is evidenced by the presence of the Washington Polytechnic Institute and small landing strips like Meadow Mist Airport and Horse Fly Airport.

Tracing the path of the Nooksack River and California Creek reveals the natural drainage patterns that have long influenced property boundaries and road placement in these townships. Cultural landmarks such as the Enterprise Cem offer specific points of interest for genealogical research, while named water bodies like Willey Lake and Fishtrap Creek provide clear markers of the lowland geography between the Canadian border and the Puget Sound interior.
