1918 Map of Samish Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1918

About this map

Samish Lake and the southern reaches of Bellingham dominate this coastal survey, where the rugged elevations of Chuckanut Mountain and Lookout Mountain meet the saltwater of Samish Bay. The landscape reflects a turn-of-the-century transition from timber extraction to agricultural settlement, evidenced by the Alger Shingle Mill and the emerging network of valley farms. Industry and transit are tightly linked here; the Great Northern Railway and Northwestern Traction lines trace the coastline and inland valleys, connecting maritime points like Blanchard Landing to inland hubs such as Edison.
