About this map

Fir Island and the complex delta of the South Fork of the Skagit River dominate this mid-century survey of the Skagit and Snohomish county line. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Steamboat Slough, Milltown Slough, and Freshwater Slough, which separate Milltown Island from the mainland. The Great Northern railroad parallels the river, anchoring the settlements of Conway, Milltown, and Cedardale.

Evidence of the region's agricultural and industrial foundations appears in the scattered farmstead roads like Burkland Road and Stackpole Road, as well as the Quarry and Gravel Pits near Bulson Road. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward Scott Mtn and Devils Mtn, where Ten Lake and Sixteen Lake sit among the timber. Rural community life is centered around landmarks such as the Conway Sch and the Freeborn Church further south in the Cedarhome area.
