2020 Map of Fortson

About this map

The N Fork Stillaguamish River valley anchors this mountain landscape at the border of Skagit and Snohomish counties, where timber-influenced settlements like Fortson and White Horse line the corridor between high peaks. In the southern portion of the map, the Fortson Mill Pond and Fortson Ponds suggest the area's industrial past, while the nearby community of Swede Heaven reflects the region's cultural settlement history. To the north, the terrain climbs steeply toward Segelsen Ridge and Round Mountain, accessible by routes like the Segelsen Pass Snowmobile 18 and Nat For Dev RD 18. This survey shows how the developed river valley, home to the rural enclave of Barco, transitions abruptly into the protected wilderness of the Mount Baker National Forest, where features like Deer Creek Pass and Segelsen Lake remain largely isolated from the modern road network.
