2023 Map of Gold Bar

About this map

The Skykomish River and Wallace River valley serves as the primary corridor for settlement and transit in this region of Snohomish County. The towns of Gold Bar and Startup are the principal population centers, situated along the flat river bottoms before the terrain rises sharply into the surrounding peaks. To the north, Wallace Falls marks a significant drop in the drainage of Bear Creek, while the southern half of the map is dominated by the dense, high-elevation woodlands of the Snoqualmie National Forest.
