About this map

The North Fork Stillaguamish River corridor serves as the primary artery of activity in this 2011 survey of the northern Cascades foothills. Small settlements such as Rowan, Hazel, and Tulker are situated along the valley floor, connected by roads like Steelhead Dr and E Post Rd. This area reflects a landscape where human habitation clings to the river flats while the surrounding terrain rises sharply toward prominent summits.

High-elevation water bodies like Granite Lake, Myrtle Lake, and the curiously named McGillicuddys Duck Pond dot the uplands. Dramatic peaks, including Mount Higgins and Skadulgwas Peak, dominate the skyline above the Boulder River and French Creek drainages. To the south, the French Creek Forest Camp indicates the area's transition into managed wilderness and recreational use, providing a clear view of the geographic relationship between the valley floor communities and the high-country watersheds.
