About this map

Lake Terrell and its surrounding wetlands dominate the inland landscape of this coastal survey, where the terrestrial environment meets the waters of the Puget Sound and the Strait of Georgia. The map records the interface of industrial and residential development along the shorelines of Whatcom County, stretching from the community of Ferndale in the east to Neptune Beach and the prominent protrusion of Sandy Point in the west. Heavy infrastructure is evident through the Intalco rail line and the specialized waterfront at Cherry Point.

To the south, the intricate hydrology of the Lummi River delta gives way to the wide Lummi Flats and the protected waters of Lummi Bay. This area, including the feature identified as Cha-Cho-Sen, reflects a complex coastal ecosystem adjacent to growing settlements like Mountain View. The grid of secondary roads and rural lanes connecting these points illustrates the modern footprint of land use in this Pacific Northwest corridor.
