1901 Map of Stillaguamish

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

The North Fork Stillaguamish River and its southern counterpart carve through the heart of this landscape, defining the rugged geography of the North Cascades during the late nineteenth-century surveying period. The Northern Pacific Railway pushes into the mountain wilderness, reaching the mining and timber outposts of Silverton and Granite Falls. This era marks the transition of the region into a managed forest landscape, as seen in the sprawling boundaries of the Mount Baker National Forest. High-altitude lookouts including French Pt Lookout and Higgins Lookout emphasize the early importance of fire watch infrastructure in these timber-rich drainages. The map details a complex network of glacial peaks and remote alpine lakes, such as Copper Lake and Helena Lake, that remained largely inaccessible to all but the most determined prospectors and surveyors of the era.
