1909 Map of Mt. Baker

USGS Topo · Published 1915

About this map

The Mt Baker massif and the northern reaches of the Washington National Forest define this terrain, which was surveyed shortly after the turn of the century by the United States and Canada Boundary Commission. At this time, the upper Nooksack River valley was a hub of early industrial activity, anchored by the Excelsior Power Plant and the remote Lone Jack Mine near the international border. The southern portion of the sheet reveals the early development of the Skagit River corridor, where the Great Northern Railway serves a string of river settlements including Hamilton, Birdsview, and Concrete. This map captures a landscape in transition, where family-named landmarks like Morovits Ranch and Thompsons Ranch stood alongside massive natural features like the Coleman Glacier and Mazama Glacier, providing a detailed look at the region's early logging and mining infrastructure.
