1972 Map of Canyon Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Canyon Lake Road winds through the northwestern reaches of the Mt Baker National Forest, providing access to the high-elevation Canyon Lake and its surrounding drainage basin. The landscape is defined by its industrial and hydraulic infrastructure from the early 1970s, including a Diversion Dam and Gaging Station on the Middle Fork Nooksack River. An Aqueduct system is traced southward, reflecting the area's importance for water management and resource extraction, punctuated by several Borrow Pits and timber-access paths like the Pack Trail. To the south, Mosquito Lake and Jorgensen Lake sit in lower terrain, while peaks such as Slide Mtn and Stewart Peak dominate the skyline. Numerous named drainages, including Racehorse Creek and Clearwater Creek, emphasize the complex hydrology of this part of Whatcom County during a period of active forest management.
