2020 Map of Mount Vernon

About this map

Mount Vernon and Burlington serve as the primary hubs of Skagit County, separated by the winding course of the Skagit River. This 2020 survey details the complex interface between urban infrastructure and the river’s floodplain, reaching from Chuckanut Junction in the north down to Skagit City and Fir Island near the river's split. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, notably the prominent Burlington Hill and Little Mtn, which rise abruptly from the valley floor. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies key institutional landmarks including the Skagit County Courthouse, the Mount Vernon Cem, and the sprawling Skagit Valley College campus. The eastern edge of the quadrangle transitions into the foothills near Baker Heights, where the Nookachamps Creek drainage meets the East Fork Nookachamps Creek, illustrating the hydraulic complexity of this agricultural and timber-rich region.
