1953 Map of Edmonds East

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The coastal bluffs of Puget Sound meet a rapidly diversifying landscape in this mid-century survey of south Snohomish County. The shoreline, anchored by Edmonds and Norma Beach, transitions into a terrain of deep ravines like Lunds Gulch and inland plateaus where the post-war suburban shift is clearly visible. The map documents the residential evolution of Mountlake Terrace and Lynnwood, contrasting these emerging centers with established nodes like Alderwood Manor. A heavy concentration of community infrastructure appears throughout, from the Kings Garden complex to specialized landmarks like the Kenmore Air Harbor on the tip of Lake Washington. Historical researchers can trace the early path of the Pacific Highway and the Great Northern railroad as they shaped the transit corridors between Seattle and the north. Notable burial sites, including the large Holyrood Cemetery and the Machzikay Hadath Cem, provide significant data points for genealogical study.
