1973 Map of Hamilton

About this map

Hamilton and Concrete anchor the southern corridor of this landscape along the banks of the Skagit River, where the Northern Pacific railroad tracks follow the valley floor. The settlement pattern reflects the mid-century industrial reliance on the river and rail, with Birdsview and Grassmere serving as key points of activity between the larger towns. North of the river, the terrain rises sharply into the Mt Baker National Forest, a region defined by high-elevation landmarks such as Loomis Mtn and Mt Josephine.
