1918 Map of Samish Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Lookout Mountain and Chuckanut Mountain dominate the northern landscape of this 1918 survey, defining a topography of steep ridges and deep glacial lakes. The settlement pattern reflects an early twentieth-century economy tied to timber and maritime transport, anchored by Bellingham in the north and the agricultural flats surrounding Edison and Bow to the south. Along the coast of Samish Bay, Blanchard Landing and the Northern Pacific railroad indicate the vital links between shoreline resources and inland markets.
