1952 Map of Lake Shannon

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Skagit River valley and its hydroelectric infrastructure define this mid-century survey, centered on the newly engineered landscape of the Mount Baker National Forest. The town of Concrete sits at the confluence of the Skagit and Baker River, serving as a hub for the industrial activities that shaped the region. To the north, the massive Baker Dam holds back the waters of Lake Shannon, while the Bear Creek Powerhouse and several gaging stations reveal the systematic management of the river's power. Remote mountain life is evidenced by the Morovitz Ranch and the Faber Ferry crossing, providing a look at local transit before the full modernization of the Cascades.
