About this map

Day Creek and the southern reaches of the Skagit Valley define this landscape, where the valley floor meets the rising peaks of the Cultus Mountains. This 2017 survey shows the transition from the fertile lowlands near Ross Island to the timbered heights of Haystack Mountain and Little Haystack Mountain. The drainage patterns are clearly delineated, tracing the paths of Sorenson Cr, Morgan Cr, and Gilligan Cr as they flow toward the Skagit River.

High-elevation water bodies like Dixie Lake, R B Lake, and Gordon Lake are situated between significant topographical landmarks such as Split Rock, Table Mtn, and Talc Mtn. The road network remains concentrated in the northern valley, following routes like the S Skagit HWY, Walberg RD, and Potts RD, reflecting the historical focus of settlement and transport along the river corridor before giving way to the steep canyons and ridges of the interior.
