1953 Map of Bothell

About this map

Bothell and the surrounding river valley show a landscape in transition during the early 1950s, where traditional agriculture and rural corners meet emerging suburban infrastructure. The Sammamish River anchors the southern portion of the map, flowing between the growing centers of Kenmore and Woodinville. Local navigation in this era relied heavily on established crossroads, many named for local families, such as Wintermutes Corner, Thrashers Corner, and Kennard Corner.
