1956 Map of Utsalady

About this map

Skagit Bay dominates this mid-century survey, illustrating the complex transition from the river deltas of the North Fork Skagit River to the northern shores of Camano Island. The landscape is defined by the alluvial flats of Fir Island, where a network of sloughs like Browns Slough and Dry Slough cut through the terrain toward the mud and sand of the bay. On the southern shore, the settlement of Utsalady and the nearby English Boom reflect the coastal activity and maritime heritage of the area.
