1952 Map of Mt. Baker

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The massive ice-crowned peak of Mt Baker dominates this 1952 survey of Whatcom County, surrounded by a complex system of glaciers including the Coleman, Deming, and Roosevelt. Along the Nooksack River corridor, the settlement of Glacier serves as a focal point for activity, supported by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad line. Industrial and utility footprints are visible through the Excelsior Mine and the Nooksack Power Plant, reflecting the era's reliance on mountain resources and hydroelectric potential. To the north, the terrain rises toward Church Mtn and the international border between the United States and Canada. Local history is preserved in markers such as the Cem near the river and the Excelsior Lookout, while the sprawling Mt Baker National Forest provides the backdrop for timber and recreation management evidenced by the Ranger Sta.
