About this map

The international boundary between Canada and the United States of America defines this northernmost landscape within Whatcom Co, Washington. Centered near the community of Blaine, the map illustrates a region where low-lying drainage patterns and wetlands intersect the 49th parallel. The topography is characterized by subtle elevation changes and numerous small watercourses that flow across the border, reflecting a shared physical geography despite the political demarcation. This late-stage survey utilizes modern high-resolution imagery and hydrography datasets to document a landscape where suburban growth and rural agricultural land meet the edge of British Columbia, highlighting the spatial relationship between the two nations in the Pacific Northwest.
