About this map

Stimson Hill and Frailey Mountain dominate this mid-1980s landscape at the boundary of Skagit and Snohomish Counties. The region is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the North Fork Stillaguamish River which winds through the southern reaches near the small settlement of Cicero. This period shows a rugged upland topography shaped by industry and natural drainage, with a Quarry and Gravel Pit positioned near the headwaters of Pilchuck Creek.

The eastern portion of the map is anchored by the expansive Lake Cavanaugh, while the western slopes are carved by Bear Creek, Crane Creek, and Rock Creek. These drainages converge toward the river valley, illustrating the timber-and-resource-rich geography typical of the North Cascades foothills. The proximity of Bald Mountain and Ebey Hill further highlights the varied elevations that dictated early land use and transit routes through this section of the Pacific Northwest.
