1972 Map of Kendall
USGS Topo · Published 1994About this map
Sumas Mountain and Columbia Mountain dominate this corner of the Pacific Northwest, framing a valley where water and industry shaped the local geography. The mapping of the North Fork Nooksack River and its tributaries, such as Saar Creek and Kendall Lake, illustrates a landscape of active resource management. The map details the transition from high-elevation peaks like Vedder Mountain to the functional sites of the lowlands, including the Nooksack Salmon Hatchery and several quarries and gravel pits. Settlement patterns are evident in the locations of Kendall and Columbia, while the Balford (Site) suggests a location that had already changed by the time of the late 20th-century revisions. Genealogists can find the IOOF Cem and St Peters Cem, providing clear spatial context for local family histories near the international border with Canada.
