1981 Map of Sedro-Woolley North

About this map

Sedro-Woolley sits at the base of the massive Lyman Hill during the early 1980s, serving as a hub where the Skagit Valley floor meets the rising Cascade foothills. The area is defined by a diverse institutional and industrial landscape, most notably the large campus of the Northern State Hospital and the nearby Union Cemetery. Transportation and industry are central to the region's character, with the Burlington Northern railroad cutting across the valley floor past the local Rodeo Grounds and Golf Course. The rural outskirts are dotted with small settlements like Thornwood and essential community landmarks including Samish Sch and Evergreen Church. Resource extraction is evident through the Cokedale Mine and numerous gravel and borrow pits, while the Skagit River and its complex of sloughs, such as Skiyou Slough, dominate the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
