2023 Map of Lawrence

About this map

The Nooksack River winds through the heart of this Whatcom County landscape, carving a fertile valley between the high elevations of Sumas Mtn and Squalicum Mtn. Small communities like Goshen, Lawrence, and Deming are linked by a network of rural roads such as Goshen Rd and E Smith Rd, reflecting a long history of valley settlement. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the Goshen-Nooksack Cem, Immanuel Lutheran Cem, and Bethany Lutheran Cem offers critical points for tracing family roots in the region. To the south, the map captures the northern edge of Lake Whatcom at Agate Bay, where Olsen Creek and Squalicum Creek drain the surrounding timbered uplands. The inclusion of Riverside Airport near Nugents Corner highlights the modern connectivity of this agricultural and riverside corridor.
