About this map

The Lummi Indian Reservation defines the southern half of this coastal landscape, where the Lummi River meanders toward the Lummi Flats and the expansive Lummi Bay. Industrial development is concentrated north of the reservation boundary, marked by a massive Aluminum Plant and a sprawling oil Refinery near the shoreline. These facilities sit alongside the residential and recreational pockets of Neptune Beach and the developed finger of Sandy Point.

Further inland, the Lake Terrell State Game Range surrounds Lake Terrell, providing a stark contrast to the heavy industry of the coast. The local road network, including Kickerville Road and Mt View Road, connects scattered settlements like Mountain View with the shoreline at Cherry Point. This 1952 survey, photoinspected in 1978, documents a period where traditional reservation lands and conservation areas met the rising industrial needs of the Pacific Northwest.
