1940 Map of Mt Vernon

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Skagit River delta dominates this 1940 landscape, branching into the North Fork Skagit River and South Fork Skagit River around Fir Island. The region’s economic life is traced through its transport networks, where the Great Northern and Northern Pacific railroads intersect at Burlington and Mt Vernon. Along the eastern edge, a Logging Railroad snakes into the timbered foothills near Big Rock and Devils Mtn. A high concentration of rural education centers, including Ridgeway Sch, Pleasant Ridge Sch, and Riverside Sch, reflects a dispersed agrarian population. Waterfront life is evident at the fishing and milling centers of La Conner on the Swinomish Slough and the coastal settlement of Utsaladdy on Camano Island.
