About this map

The confluence of the Skagit River and the Cascade River serves as the central hub of this Skagit County landscape. The settlement of Marblemount sits at this junction, surrounded by protected wilderness areas including North Cascades National Park, Mount Baker National Forest, and the Ross Lake National Recreation Area. These public lands encompass significant topographical features such as Diobsud Buttes and the high elevation Bacon Point, where the Bacon Point Lookout is situated.

Downriver to the southwest, the smaller community of Corkindale is positioned along the riverbank, while the locality of Portage is noted further east. The map detail highlights the region's focus on conservation and resource management, evidenced by the Skagit Hatchery and recreational sites like the Cascade Island Campground. Infrastructure like Cascade River Rd and Rockport Cascade Rd provide the primary access through the steep terrain, following the natural paths carved by numerous tributaries such as Diobsud Cr and Bacon Creek.
