2011 Map of Gold Bar

About this map

Skykomish River and Wallace River converge near the established town of Gold Bar, where the grid of residential streets like Lewis Ave and Orchard Ave meet the riverbanks. The local geography is defined by its water systems and the rising topography to the south, including Haystack Mountain and its Haystack Lookout. Smaller settlements like Startup and May Creek are clustered along the river corridor, linked by the Wallace River Bridge. Higher elevations reveal a series of isolated water bodies such as Airplane Lake, Haleyon Lake, and Winter Lake. The transition from the valley floor to the timbered heights is marked by the presence of Camp Huston and the dramatic drop of Wallace Falls to the north, illustrating the region's reliance on the watershed for both settlement and industry.
