1966 Map of Fortson

About this map

The Northern Pacific railroad corridor follows the valley floor in this 1960s study of the Cascades foothills, where the North Fork Stillaguamish River defines the local geography. Small settlements like Fortson and Swede Heaven are situated along the river's path, supported by the local timber and rail economy. The map captures the industrial and natural intersection of the region, noting a Fish Hatchery, several Gravel Pits, and a Darrington Substation alongside the recreational footprint of Squire Creek Park.
