1953 Map of Edmonds East

About this map

Shoreline development along Puget Sound and Lake Washington defines this mid-century portrait of southern Snohomish County. The landscape is undergoing a rapid post-war transformation as suburban nodes like Mountlake Terrace and Lynnwood expand near the Pacific Highway. This growth is visible in the dense street grids emerging between established points like Edmonds and Alderwood Manor. Despite the residential push, the terrain remains deeply carved by features like Lunds Gulch and Swamp Creek, which dictate the winding paths of local roads and the remaining pockets of open space.
