2011 Map of Maple Falls

About this map

Maple Falls sits along the bend of the North Fork Nooksack River in a valley defined by the high peaks of Red Mountain and Black Mountain. This 2011 survey records a landscape of recreational utility and extractive industry in northern Washington, centered around the Maple Falls Post Office and the mountain transit corridors of Silver Lake Rd. To the north, Silver Lake serves as a focal point for local leisure at the Silver Lake Park Campground and Silver Lake Park Boat Launch, while the nearby Black Mountain Boy Scout Camp occupies the eastern shore. The region’s economic foundation is represented by significant industrial sites, including the Clauson Lime Quarry and Kendall Quarry. Smaller landmarks like the Kendall Airstrip and numerous drainage creeks such as Doaks Creek and Boulder Creek illustrate the intersection of human infrastructure with the complex drainage systems of the Nooksack basin.
