Early
Maps of Samish Island

The
Padilla Bay Center provides this probable map of Samish
Island in Prehistory, or 10,000 years ago.
The Skagit River once entered Puget Sound at Padilla Bay,
but sometime during the past thousands of years, its mouth
shifted southward into Skagit Bay. Bayview Ridge to the
southeast of Samish Island, was also once an island, like
Samish Island, before delta marshes filled in this region.

image shows the prehistoric Skagit River Delta. |
