About this map

Drayton Harbor and the northern reaches of Puget Sound define the coastal landscape of this Pacific Northwest border region. The settlement of Blaine sits at the northern edge, where the BNSF Railway and Peace Portal Dr serve as primary transportation corridors. Moving inland, the map captures a transition to the agricultural and residential districts of Birch Bay, Custer, and Kickerville.

Water management is evident through features like Olason Reservoir and Blaine Reservoir, while the natural drainage of Dakota Creek and California Creek snakes through the lowlands. For those researching local heritage, several burial sites are documented, including Blaine Cem and Haynie Cem. The presence of the Birch Bay Circle Grange and the Main St PO in Custer points to the community-centered layout of Whatcom County during this decade.
