2023 Map of Mount Higgins

About this map

The North Fork Stillaguamish River corridor serves as the primary artery for settlement in this portion of the Mount Baker National Forest. Small communities like Hazel, Tulker, and Swede Heaven are concentrated along the Arlington-Darrington Rd, demonstrating how the valley floor dictated the development of this mountainous region. The transition from the river lowlands to high-altitude landmarks is abrupt, rising toward peaks such as Mt Higgins and Skadulguas Peak. Numerous remote water bodies, including Myrtle Lake and the unusually named McGillicuddys Duck-Pond, are tucked into the high ridges. This map also preserves local navigation history with labeled routes like the Mt Higgins Trl and the Segelson Pass-Snowmobile 18 Trl, alongside the border between Skagit Co and Snohomish Co.
