1918 Map of Samish Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

Bellingham and the southern reaches of Whatcom Lake anchor this 1917 survey, which reveals a region defined by its timber economy and complex shoreline. The network of Logging RR lines and the presence of the Alger Shingle Mill point to the heavy industry driving development along the western slopes of Lookout Mountain and Chuckanut Mountain. This era captures the transition from shoreline landings like Blanchard Landing to rail-dependent inland commerce along the Great Northern and Northern Pacific tracks.
