About this map

The Skagit River and Sauk River converge in this mid-1960s landscape, defining a region where river bottomlands meet the rising timber of the Mt Baker National Forest. Near the northern bank of the Skagit, the community of Rockport serves as a focal point, supported by the Ranger Sta and the Rockport State Park. The map documents a transition in transportation and land use, showing the Old Grade RR alongside the Conrad Road and the Rockport Cascade Road.

Southward along the Sauk, the presence of the Hidden Valley Ranch and a Gravel Pit indicate localized agricultural and industrial activity. Significant topographical features like Rinker Ridge and Suiattle Mtn rise above the river valleys, while smaller water bodies such as Caskey Lake and Hill Lake are tucked into the high ground. The survey even captures infrastructure in progress, noting a section of road Under Construction along the eastern bank of the Sauk.
