About this map

Mount Baker National Forest anchors this high-elevation landscape, where the headwaters of numerous tributaries feed the South Fork Nooksack River as it winds through the southwestern corner. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks including Twin Sisters Mountain, New York Mtn, and Bear Mtn, interspersed with alpine hydrology such as Musto Marsh and Atherns Pond.

Logging and resource management roads like Mosquito Lake Rd and Blue Mt Rd provide limited access to the dense drainages of Skookum Creek and Cavanaugh Creek. The map also captures the Whatcom Co Skagit Co line, illustrating the administrative boundaries that bisect the high ridges of Bald Mtn and Miner Mtn. This survey provides a precise account of the watershed's structure, from the heights of Bowman Mtn to the secluded expanse of Dailey Prairie.
