About this map

Sultan and the neighboring settlement of Startup anchor the northern landscape of this survey, where the Skykomish River and Wallace River converge. The topography shifts dramatically from the river valley floors to the high timberlands of the south, crossing the county line from Snohomish into King County. In the lowland plains, infrastructure like Sky Harbor Airport and the Sultan Mill Pond reflect the local economy, while the Sultan River Bridge provides a key crossing point for the established road network including Main St and Old Sultan-Startup Rd.

Moving into the higher elevations, the map reveals a remote network of alpine water bodies. Features like Lake Dorothy, Cherry Lake, and the curiously named Drunken Charlie Lake are situated among the steep contours, accessible via tracks like the Youngs River Truck Trl. This area serves as a primary drainage basin for Youngs Cr and Cherry Cr, illustrating the transition from managed valley floors to the unpopulated mountain interior.
