1907 Map of Blaine

Southward, the Noosack River winds toward its delta, passing the established town of Ferndale and the northern reaches of the Lummi Indian Reservation. Local development is clustered around family-named landmarks and small crossroads like Kickersville, Fingalson, and Enterprise. Water management and natural drainage are evident in the presence of Elk Marsh, Lake Terrell, and a series of smaller lakes like Barrett Lake and Tennant Lake, reflecting a period when the landscape's natural hydrology dictated the path of roads and the placement of early homesteads.
