1953 Map of Bothell

About this map

The Sammamish River serves as the focal point for this landscape, flowing through the valley where Bothell, Kenmore, and Woodinville meet. Based on 1950s data with later revisions, the map highlights the transition from rural industry to suburban expansion, evidenced by the purple-tinted urban extensions around family-named landmarks like Wintermutes Corner and Thrashers Corner. The proximity of the Burlington Northern line to local industry is clear near the Bloomberg Mill, while the Martha Lake Airport to the north reflects the region's mid-century infrastructure. This area at the border of Snohomish and King counties shows a intricate network of drainage, where North Creek and Swamp Creek flow south toward the river, carving through terrain like Norway Hill and Canyon Park.
