About this map

The Skagit River dominates this landscape, winding between the urban centers of Mount Vernon and Burlington. This modern survey highlights the complex relationship between the river's floodplains and the region's development, with water bodies like Gages Slough, Barney Lake, and Nookachamps Creek weaving through agricultural and residential zones. The transit corridor is clearly defined by the BNSF Railway and major arteries like Chuckanut Dr and Old Highway 99 N Rd, which connect the towns to peripheral settlements such as Sedro-Woolley and Avon.

Educational and civic landmarks are prominent, including the Skagit Valley Coll campus and local landmarks like the Riverside Drive Bridge. The map also captures the distinct topography of the Skagit Valley, from the elevations of Burlington Hill and Little Mtn to the low-lying reaches of Fir Island and Hart Island. Local history is preserved through the locations of the Mount Vernon Cemetery and Green Hills Memorial Cem, providing a detailed look at the community's footprint in the early 21st century.
