About this map

The Skagit River meanders through this portion of Skagit County, anchoring a landscape where intensive agriculture meets growing urban centers. Mount Vernon and Burlington serve as the primary hubs, connected by the BNSF Railway and several major thoroughfares that cross the river at the Riverside Drive Bridge. The surrounding alluvial plains are dotted with long-standing family operations such as Double K Farms, Wolters Dairy, and Cedardale Farm, illustrating the region's enduring dairy and farming heritage.

Elevated terrain like Burlington Hill and Little Mtn, featuring the Little Mountain Lookout, provides a distinct contrast to the low-lying sloughs such as Gages Slough and Joe Leary Slough. Local institutions and community landmarks, including the Skagit Valley Coll, the Skagit County Fairgrounds, and the Meadow Grange, highlight the social and educational fabric of the valley during the early twenty-first century.
