1956 Map of Mount Vernon

About this map

The Skagit River dominates this mid-century landscape as it winds between the growing centers of Mount Vernon and Burlington. Settlement is concentrated along the river corridor and the Great Northern railroad, with the urban footprint expanding significantly by the late 1960s. Educational and community infrastructure is well-documented, from local landmarks like the Skagit Valley Jr College and Washington School to the outlying Westview School and Seventh Day Adventist Sch.
