2011 Map of Lyman

About this map

Lyman and the surrounding river bottomlands are the focal point of this 2011 survey, situated along a complex network of waterways where Manner Creek and Childs Creek flow toward the Skagit River. The landscape is defined by the shifting hydrology of the river valley, evidenced by features like Jims Slough, Davis Slough, and Ross Island. To the north, the terrain rises toward Lyman Pass, where the South Fork Nooksack River and numerous tributaries such as Plumbago Creek and Canyon Creek drain the higher elevations. This map captures the region's rural infrastructure, from the Lyman Post Office and Lyman Cemetery to the residential clusters at Minkler and Hamilton Junction. The presence of Camp Eighteen in the northern hills suggests the area's ongoing relationship with the timber industry, while the valley floor is crisscrossed by established routes like the Lyman Hamilton Hwy.
