2011 Map of Haystack Mountain

About this map

Day Creek sits at the northern edge of this high-relief landscape in Skagit County, where the transition from river valley to the Cultus Mountains is defined by a dense network of drainages. The local economy is represented by the Day Creek Sand and Gravel Quarry near the junction of Walberg Rd and S Skagit Hwy. Moving south, the terrain rises sharply toward Haystack Mountain and Talc Mountain, interrupted by high-elevation water bodies like Dixie Lake and R B Lake. The map reveals a complex system of seasonal and perennial streams, including Sorenson Creek and Rocky Creek, which have carved deep features like Rocky Canyon. This 2011 survey documents a mix of industrial resource extraction and remote natural landmarks such as Split Rock and Table Mountain.
