About this map

The town of Hamilton sits along the northern bank of the Skagit Wild and Scenic River, anchored by a grid of streets including Water St and Maple St. This river corridor serves as a focal point for local transportation, with the S Skagit Hwy following the southern bank and the Lyman Hamilton Hwy connecting settlements to the north. To the northwest, the Hamilton Cemetery stands as a local genealogical landmark near the shore of Careys Lake.

The terrain rises sharply toward the north into the Mount Baker National Forest, dominated by the heights of Mt Josephine. High-elevation water features like Josephine Lakes feed a network of drainages including Muddy Cr and Alder Cr. This wilderness area is traversed by the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail, which winds through the steep topography while the S Fork Nooksack River flows through the northern reaches of the quadrangle.
