2011 Map of Kendall

About this map

Sumas Mountain and the surrounding valley floor define the topography of this northern Whatcom County region during the early twenty-first century. The landscape is a complex mix of agricultural land, timbered slopes, and residential pockets like Peaceful Valley and Limestone Junction. The drainage of Saar Creek and Coal Creek feeds into the larger waterway network, while the North Fork Nooksack River runs across the southern reaches near the Nooksack Salmon Hatchery. Genealogists and local historians will find the exact locations of Saint Peters Cemetery and Kendall Cemetery valuable for mapping family history. The presence of the Killum Quarry and numerous named peaks such as Lone Tree Hill and Haystack Hill illustrate the intersection of local industry and the varied terrain of the Columbia Valley.
