1913 Map of Cedar Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Industrial activity and resource extraction define this landscape on the western slopes of the Cascades. Loggers and miners established a dense network of camps and towns such as Selleck, Ravensdale, and Black Diamond. The map highlights the early 20th-century water and power infrastructure for the growing Puget Sound region, specifically the New Dam Site and Power Plant at Cedar Lake. These developments were tied together by the competing tracks of the Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul RR and the Northern Pacific RR, which navigated the river valleys to transport coal and timber. Remote mountain lookouts like Humphrey Lookout and Huckleberry Lookout suggest the importance of forest management within the Snoqualmie National Forest, while now-obscure settlements like Kerriston and Taylor mark the era's intensive logging and clay manufacturing operations.
