2014 Map of Fortson

About this map

Fortson and Swede Heaven occupy the valley floor where the river bends south, situated at the edge of the Mount Baker National Forest. This 2014 survey records a landscape defined by the drainage of the N Fork Stillaguamish River and its various tributaries, including Squire Cr and Ashton Cr. The northern half of the map is dominated by high-elevation terrain features like Segelsen Ridge and Coney Pass, while the southern portion shows more concentrated human activity. A legacy of local industry is visible in the presence of the Fortson Mill Pond and Fortson Ponds, accessed by Fortson Mill Rd. The transition between the Skagit and Snohomish County line occurs near the high peaks of Round Mtn, separating the river valley from the higher alpine reaches of the national forest.
