About this map

The Day Creek settlement and the northern edge of the Cultus Mountains define this section of the Skagit Valley. Topography here is dominated by several distinct peaks, including Talc Mtn, Little Haystack Mtn, and Haystack Mtn, which overlook a complex network of drainages such as Sorenson Creek, Gilligan Creek, and Rocky Creek. The presence of S Skagit Hwy and several rural roads like Walberg Rd and Potts Rd indicate a landscape shaped by both forest management and residential expansion along the valley floor.

Southward, the elevation increases toward Table Mtn, where numerous small water bodies like Dixie Lake, Gordon Lake, and Wagner Lake are located. These upland features, along with landmarks like Split Rock and the winding Rocky Canyon, suggest a landscape utilized for recreation and natural resource access. The varied terrain, moving from the low-lying Ross Island in the north to the high summits in the south, provides a clear view of the geological transition within Skagit County.
