1953 Map of Marblemount

About this map

The Skagit River valley and its surrounding peaks define this mid-century survey of the North Cascades. The settlement of Marblemount serves as a focal point where the Skagit River meets the Cascade River, supporting local industry such as the Skagit Talc Mine and the State Fish Hatchery. The map documents a critical infrastructure network along the river, including a series of railroad sidings like Goodell Siding, Sky Creek Siding, and Jennings Siding that once facilitated movement through the steep terrain.
