About this map

Sedro-Woolley anchors the northern reaches of this Skagit County landscape, situated where the Skagit River meanders through the broad Skagit Valley. South of the river, the terrain shifts from the agricultural flats of Skiyou Island and Hart Island into the elevated timberlands of the Cultus Mountains. This 2017 survey shows the distinct transition from the dense street grids of Clear Lake and Montborne to the more dispersed rural developments of Walker Valley and Baker Heights.

The area's topography is defined by significant water management and natural drainage, from the large Judy Reservoir and Cultus Mountain Reservoir nestled in the hills to the winding courses of Nookachamps Cr and Walker Cr. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the location of the Clear Lake Cem and several small water bodies like Shiner Lake and Beaver Lake, illustrating the modern balance between residential growth and the preserved mountain environment east of Big Lake.
