1956 Map of Conway

About this map

Fir Island and the complex delta of the South Fork Skagit River define this coastal landscape at the Skagit and Snohomish county line. The map captures a detailed network of waterways including Steamboat Slough, Freshwater Slough, and Tom Moore Slough, illustrating the reclaimed agricultural character of the delta protected by levees. The Burlington Northern railroad corridor serves as the primary north-south spine, connecting the settlements of Conway, Fir Station, and Milltown. East of the flats, the terrain rises sharply toward Scott Mtn and Devils Mtn, where small upland lakes like Sixteen Lake and Ten Lake are situated. This mid-century survey, with revisions into the late 1970s, preserves the locations of rural infrastructure such as the Conway Sch, Freeborn Church, and the Landing Strip near the northern boundary.
