About this map

Lake Cavanaugh and its surrounding peaks dominate this 2017 survey of the borderlands between Skagit and Snohomish counties. The landscape is defined by significant elevations including Mt Cavanaugh, Frailey Mtn, and Stimson Hill, which overlook a complex drainage system fed by Pilchuck Cr, Grant Cr, and Crane Cr. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the terrain descends toward the North Fork Stillaguamish River valley, where the small settlement of Cicero is situated.

The map reveals a contrast between the recreational and residential development concentrated along N Shore DR and S Shore DR at the lake, and the more utilitarian lands to the south. Notable local landmarks such as Williams Airpatch near Ebey Hill and the network of logging and forest access roads like Frailey Mountain RD illustrate the modern intersection of private aviation and timber geography in this part of the Pacific Northwest.
