About this map

The Great Northern railway corridor defines the coastal edge and inland plains of Skagit County in the mid-1950s, linking the waterfront community of Blanchard to the agricultural hub at Edison Station. The landscape is shaped by its proximity to the water, where Samish Bay and Padilla Bay are separated by the distinct protrusion of Samish Island. This coastal geography is characterized by expansive mud and sand flats, including Pigeon Point and Windy Point, which provide a natural buffer for the reclaimed agricultural lands protected by levees.
