About this map

Lake Cavanaugh and the surrounding high ground of the Cascade foothills define this 2011 survey of the Skagit County landscape. The settlement at the lake is connected to the valley below by the winding Lake Cavanaugh Rd, while the southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the North Fork Stillaguamish River. This river valley is home to the community of Cicero and the Williams Airpatch, illustrating the mix of river-bottom agriculture and small-scale aviation that characterizes the lowlands.

Between the river and the lake, a series of prominent peaks including Stimson Hill, Mount Cavanaugh, and Frailey Mountain create a complex drainage network. Water travels through systems like Grant Creek and Pilchuck Creek, passing through Frailey Ponds as it moves toward the larger river basins. The presence of Grandview Trl and various mountain roads suggests a landscape managed for both timber and recreation during the early 21st century.
