2017 Map of Rockport

About this map

The confluence of the Skagit River and the Sauk River anchors this study of Skagit County, where the settlement of Rockport sits at the northern bend of the river system. This 2017 terrain analysis highlights a landscape defined by significant water features, including the complex wetland environment of Barnaby Slough and the isolated McLeod Slough north of the main channel. The map provides clear detail for researchers tracking the reach of the Mount Baker National Forest, which blankets the eastern and southern high ground. Elevation peaks at Suiattle Mtn in the southeast, while family-named landmarks such as Rinker Point and Rinker Ridge overlook the valley floor. Transportation infrastructure is represented by the Concrete Sauk Valley Road Bridge and the extensive network of forest roads like Illabot Creek Rd and Martin Ranch Rd, which penetrate the steep timberland and provide access to remote water bodies like Hilt Lake and Gaskey Lake.
