About this map

Sumas Mountain and the prominent ridge of Van Zandt Dike dominate this landscape where the branches of the Nooksack converge. The settlement of Deming serves as a central hub, situated near the confluence of the Nooksack River and the South Fork Nooksack River. The map captures a moment of established rural infrastructure, including Mt Baker High Sch and the Deming Speedway near the river bend.

Rail and industry are evident through the Burlington Northern line and numerous extraction sites like the Quarry near Mud Lake. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, identifying multiple burial grounds such as Mt Hope Cem, Welcome Cem, and the St Joseph Mission Cem. Small communities like Van Zandt and Clipper are linked by local roads such as Potter Road and Strand Road, reflecting the valley's settlement patterns during the late 20th century.
