Dairy operations and salmon conservation define this corner of Whatcom County near the British Columbia border. Agricultural landmarks such as Silvergate Dairy, Hillview Dairy, and Circle S Farms populate the valley floor, while the Nooksack Salmon Hatchery sits at the southern edge near the North Fork Nooksack River. The landscape is dominated by the massive rise of Sumas Mtn and Vedder Mtn, which frame the lowlands of Columbia Valley. The settlement patterns here include established communities like Kendall and Maple Falls, alongside modern developments such as Peaceful Valley. Genealogists will find the locations of Kendall Cem and Saint Peters Cem preserved alongside several family-named hills and creek systems including Reese Hill and Saar Cr.
