1966 Map of Fortson

About this map

Fortson and White Horse sit within the river-cut valley of the North Fork Stillaguamish River, where local industry and transportation defined the mid-century landscape. The Northern Pacific railroad tracks run parallel to the river, serving small settlements and connecting them to the larger regional economy. To the north, the terrain rises sharply toward Segelsen Ridge and Round Mountain, marking the transition into the protected lands of the Mt Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.
