1943 Map of Mt Vernon

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The Skagit River dominates this mid-century landscape as it splits into the North Fork and South Fork, creating a complex delta of sloughs and islands before reaching Skagit Bay. To the east, the urban center of Mt Vernon serves as a regional hub, connected to Burlington and Sedro-Woolley by the Great Northern and Northern Pacific railroads. The map reveals a deeply established agricultural and maritime network, where small communities like La Conner sit along the Swinomish Slough and rural life is anchored by local institutions such as Pleasant Ridge Sch and Milltown Ch. Higher ground is found at Devils Mtn and Bay View Ridge, providing a stark contrast to the low-lying marshlands of Olympia Marsh. This survey details the intricate drainage system of the Skagit flats, including Indian Slough and Freshwater Slough, which were vital to the area's development and transport during the 1940s.
