The Nooksack River winds through this coastal landscape, creating a complex network of waterways including Smuggler Slough and Slater Slough before reaching Bellingham Bay. To the north, the city of Ferndale sits as a central hub, connected by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad and the prominent Nooksack River Bridge. The map details a transition from industrial and utility sites like the Ferndale Quarry and Bellingham International Airport to recreational areas such as the Riverside Golf Course. Smaller settlements like Marietta and Lummi are situated near the river's mouth, where the Lummi Cemetery and Fish Point mark the cultural and physical geography of the shoreline. The inclusion of several managed water bodies, such as Barrett Lake and Tennant Lake, alongside modern infrastructure illustrates the intensive development of this Whatcom County corridor.
