2011 Map of Lake Whatcom

About this map

Lake Whatcom dominates this 2011 survey, showing a landscape defined by waterfront settlements and specialized transportation hubs. To the west, the developed community of Sudden Valley sits near the Floathaven Seaplane Base and the adjacent Floathaven Airstrip, highlighting the area's integration of air and water travel. The map captures the rugged eastern shore of the lake near Blue Canyon, where the terrain rises sharply toward Lookout Mountain. To the south, a chain of smaller water bodies including Cain Lake, Reed Lake, and Squires Lake follows the corridor of the Pacific Hwy. The presence of the Louise Lake Dam and Glenhaven Lakes Dam illustrates the management of the local watershed that supports the residential clusters of Glenhaven and Sunnyside.
