About this map

The Island sits at a prominent bend in the Stillaguamish River, highlighting a landscape defined by the river's path through Snohomish County. The Stillaguamish River Bridge and various crossings connect the urban development of Arlington and northern Marysville with the surrounding rural terrain. This 2017 survey shows a complex interface of modern transportation and aviation, centered on the Arlington Municipal Airport, while maintaining ties to older community nodes such as Arlington Junction and Sisco.

To the west, the topography shifts near Prestliens Bluff and Jackson Gulch, overlooking wetlands and secondary waterways like Pilchuck Creek and Cook Slough. Local history is anchored by sites like Arlington Cem and established residential areas at Smokey Point and Lakewood. The presence of numerous small bodies of water, including Bryant Lake and Lake Armstrong, suggests a region where the water table and glacial history heavily influence land use and settlement patterns.
