About this map

The Snoqualmie River meanders through the heart of the valley, anchoring a landscape that bridges the growing town of Duvall in the north and Carnation in the south. This 2017 survey illustrates the residential expansion around Ames Lake and the Lake Marcel-Stillwater area, contrasting with the expansive floodplains and agricultural stretches near Stuart and Stillwater. The map highlights significant topographical features like Novelty Hill and the Tolt Hill Flat, providing a detailed look at the geographic character of eastern King County.

Local infrastructure is well-defined, including the Tolt Pipeline Trail and the convergence of the Tolt River and Snoqualmie River near the Carnation townsite. Smaller water bodies such as Sikes Lake, Langlois Lake, and Horseshoe Lake are scattered across the terrain, while the residential grids of Union Hill-Novelty Hill show the density of modern settlement patterns in this historically rural river valley.
