About this map

Rockport sits at the confluence of the mighty Skagit River and the Sauk River, serving as a vital focal point for this 1960s river-valley survey. The settlement's connection to the era's land management is evident in the presence of the Ranger Sta and the surrounding Rockport State Park. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring numerous secondary waterways like Mc Leod Slough, Barnaby Slough, and Illabot Creek.

Evidence of the region's transport history and industrial development is visible through the Old RR Grade and the Cascade Road snaking through the terrain. Further south, the map details the rugged ascent toward Illabot Peaks and Rinker Ridge, marking the transition into the Mt Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Local homesteads and smaller sites like Hidden Valley Ranch and the community Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family ties to this corner of Skagit County.
