About this map

La Conner stands at the heart of this coastal Skagit County survey, positioned at the junction of the Swinomish Channel and the expansive La Conner Flats. The landscape is a testament to the region's agricultural and maritime foundations, where the North Fork Skagit River feeds into a network of waterways including Sullivan Slough and Joe Leary Slough. On the higher ground of Pleasant Ridge, the Pleasant Ridge Cemetery and Pleasant Ridge School anchor a rural community that overlooks the surrounding fields.

The map reveals the local importance of the floral industry with the Skagit Valley Bulb Farm situated near Fredonia. Aviation and commerce are represented by both the Skagit Regional Airport and the Bay View Airport, while the La Conner Marina serves as a vital point for the town's waterfront economy. From the village of Avon in the east to the waterfront at Bay View on Padilla Bay, the area is defined by its deep connection to the fertile valley floor and the Salish Sea.
