About this map

The Skagit Wild and Scenic River defines the lower third of this landscape, carving through the Skagit Valley and creating riverine features like Ross Island and Jims Slough. Along its northern bank, the towns of Lyman and Hamilton are connected by the Lyman Hamilton Hwy, while Hamilton Junction sits just to the east. This river-level settlement pattern contrasts sharply with the mountainous terrain to the north, where the South Fork Nooksack River and numerous creeks like Canyon Cr and Fobes Cr drain the slopes of Lyman Hill.

Cultural landmarks and infrastructure are well-represented, including the Lyman Cem and Hamilton Cem. The Pacific NW National Scenic Trail winds extensively through the northern elevations, crossing Lyman Pass and traversing slopes marked by logging roads like the Mount Josephine Truck Trl and the Crown Pacific Mainline. The map also captures smaller communities like Minkler near Minkler Lake, reflecting the enduring rural character of Skagit County.
