1985 Map of Sedro-Woolley South

About this map

Sedro-Woolley anchors the northern edge of this Skagit County landscape, where the Skagit River meanders through a valley filled with significant fluvial features like Skiyou Island and Ross Island. The transition from the fertile Skagit Valley to the rising timberlands of the Cultus Mountains is marked by a series of lakes and timber-industry remnants. South of the main river, a network of water bodies including Clear Lake, Beaver Lake, and the expansive Big Lake provided the foundation for local settlements like Montborne and Turner. Industrial activity is evident through the presence of a Quarry and Gravel Pit in Walker Valley, alongside infrastructure such as a Compressor Station and an Old RR Grade. These features trace the historical reliance on both the river system and terrestrial resource extraction that defined this region's mid-to-late 20th-century development.
