1915 Map of Mt. Baker Dist

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Mt Baker and its massive ice fields, including the Coleman Glacier and Mazama Glacier, dominate this early twentieth-century survey of the North Cascades. The map documents an era of burgeoning industrial and recreational interest in the Mt Baker National Forest, evidenced by the Excelsior Power Plant and early homesteads like Morovits Ranch. To the south, the Great Northern Railway corridor follows the Skagit River, linking riverfront settlements like Concrete, Birdsview, and Marblemount. High-altitude mining history is preserved at the Lone Jack Mine near the United States Canada Boundary Line. This topography reveals the transition from valley-floor ranching at Thompsons Ranch to the alpine wilderness of the Skagit Range, providing a detailed view of the region before modern infrastructure altered its early character.
