About this map

Culmback Dam and the expansive Spada Lake reservoir dominate the upper reaches of the Sultan River, serving as critical infrastructure within the City of Everett Watershed. This high-elevation landscape is defined by the steep drainage of the Sultan Basin and the winding course of the Pilchuck River to the north. Resource extraction and forest management are evident through the presence of the Lockwood Mine and a dense network of Forest Service roads like Sultan Basin Rd and Corona Mine Rd.

Lower elevations to the south transition toward the Wallace River drainage, featuring smaller alpine waters such as Wallace Lake, Jay Lake, and Cecelia Lake. The topography is punctuated by Blue Mountain, crowned by the Blue Mountain Lookout, providing a vantage over the Olney Creek valley. Natural landmarks like Olney Falls and the Olney Park Recreation Area highlight the area's utility for both utility management and outdoor recreation.
