About this map

Lummi Bay and the surrounding coastal lowlands of Whatcom County define this landscape along the Strait of Georgia. The map documents the intricate interface between the marine environment and inland hydrology, centered on the expansive Lake Terrell and the winding course of the Lummi River. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the shoreline and at rural junctions, notably at Mountain View and the coastal enclaves of Neptune Beach and Sandy Point.

The cultural footprint of the area is highlighted by features such as Cha-Choo-Sen and the Mountain View Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research and local history studies. The transition from the Lummi Flats to the residential edges of Ferndale illustrates the modern development of these ancestral lands. A dense grid of local roads, including Haxton Way and Slater Rd, connects the diverse terrain from the northern reaches of Birch Bay down through the industrial and natural landmarks near Cherry Point.
