1913 Map of Cedar Lake

About this map

North Bend and the mountain passes of the Snoqualmie National Forest dominate this landscape, which was surveyed just before the First World War. The region is defined by a dense network of industrial activity, where the Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul and Northern Pacific railroads snake through river valleys to serve timber and mining outposts. Large-scale infrastructure is evident at the New Dam Site on the Cedar River, while the presence of the Page Mill and scattered camps like Camp No 3 and Camp No 4 illustrate the era's reliance on forestry.
