1943 Map of Mt Vernon

About this map

The Skagit River dominates this mid-century landscape as it winds toward its delta, branching into the North Fork and South Fork before reaching Skagit Bay. The region's complex water network is fully articulated, showing numerous drainage features like Indian Slough, Sullivan Slough, and Tom Moore Slough. This detailed mapping reveals a transition between the established riverfront settlements and the rising upland of Devils Mtn, while the agricultural importance of the flatlands is evident in the numerous rural schoolhouses such as Harmony Sch and Riverside Sch.
