The Bellingham Area in Washington starts at the Canadian Border and extends south to include some of the San Juan Islands. Most intriguing title in this grouping.....Acme!
Acme is a community east of Lake Whatcom on the South Fork of the Nooksack River in southwest Whatcom County. The name was suggested by the Acme Hymnal which Samuel Parks used in a local church. It became the name of the post office in 1887. The first settler in the area was Fred Zobrist who came to Washington in 1886 and after some false starts opened the first store in the area. The English word acme is from a Greek word meaning culmination or top or highest point.
The 7.5 minute maps by USGS are the most detailed topographic maps of Washington State and are the best tool for figuring out the shape of the land using contour lines. Hills, depressions, cliffs, plateaus, and other physical features are clearly marked on these maps, while colors and symbols indicate whether these hills are wooded or clear. Roads, trails, power lines and shelters are also marked.
Each map measures approximately 22" x 27".
