About this map

The Sumas River and Nooksack River define the hydrologic character of this borderland region in Whatcom County. Near the northern margin, the settlement of Sumas serves as a primary hub, situated just south of the international boundary near Judson Lake. The landscape is a network of agricultural plots and industrial operations, evidenced by numerous extractive sites such as the Hoy Sand and Gravel Quarry, Singer Quarry, and the Siper and Heutink Quarry.

Further south, the neighboring towns of Nooksack and Everson are located where the terrain meets the bend of the Nooksack River. This area preserves local history through sites like the Nooksack Cemetery and the Nooksack Post Office. Smaller communities like Clearbrook, Hampton, and Strandell are connected by a grid of rural roads including Halverstick Rd and Clearbrook Rd, reflecting a well-established pattern of valley floor settlement and resource extraction.
