Item description from seller

Very good. Light wear along original fold lines. Verso repairs to fold separations. Slight loss at a fold intersection. Accompanied by original binder. Size 19 x 51.25 Inches. This is a 1942 Metsker map of Skagit County, Washington. The map captures the county at the peak of World War II (1939 - 1945), when it funneled critical manpower and natural resources to the war effort through nearby military bases in Island County. A Closer Look Coverage embraces from Rosario Strait and Washington Sound to Cutthroat Peak in Okanogan County and from Bellingham and Geneva to Stanwood and Camano Island. Bold lines mark the county's highways, while smaller roads are illustrated by thinner lines. The Seattle Municipal Railway runs along part of the Skagit River. The region's impressive topography is depicted using hachure, with ridges, peaks, buttes, and other features labeled. The Cascades dominate the eastern (left) side. Lakes, creeks, and rivers appear as well. The Mt. Baker National Forest fills nearly a quarter of the sheet. Publication History and Census This map was created and published by Charles Metsker and Metsker Maps in 1942. Metsker Maps published editions of their county maps series beginning in the 1930s and continuing into the 1980s or 1990s. We've seen cataloged examples of the Metsker Map of Skagit County dating from every decade within that range, although we have not found a cataloged example of the present edition. Examples of various editions appear on the market from time to time.…
