About this map

Mt Baker National Forest dominates this landscape in the Cascades of Skagit County, where a complex network of drainages flows through steep timberland. The map's center is defined by Coal Mountain and Iron Mtn, names that hint at the region's geological and prospecting history. High-elevation hydrology is a primary focus, centering on Day Lake and its tributaries such as Fish Creek and Campbell Creek.

Logging and resource management roads wind through the township lines, connecting the various drainages including Boyd Creek, O'Toole Creek, and Cumberland Creek in the north. To the south, the terrain rises toward Little Deer Peak and Big Deer Peak, marking the divide where waters begin their descent toward Skachuck Cr and Deer Creek. This 1989 provisional survey captures the forest's infrastructure and drainage patterns as they existed in the late twentieth century.
