1909 Map of Mt Baker

USGS Topo · Published 1909

About this map

MT Baker and the surrounding heights of the Washington National Forest dominate this northern Washington landscape during a period of early industrial development. The survey, conducted by J.E. Blackburn and Robert Muldrow, documents the critical early infrastructure of the North Cascades, including the Excelsior Power Plant and another Power Plant further south along the Baker River. In the Skagit Valley, the economy is driven by rail and river, with the Great Northern and the Puget Sound and Baker River railroads connecting timber and mineral resources to emerging settlements like Concrete and Hamilton. The map provides a detailed view of the high-country terrain, marking summits such as Mt Shuksan and Yellow Aster Butte, while tracing the remote paths to Morovits Ranch and the early outpost at Glacier near the Canadian border.
