1942 Map of Edmonds

About this map

Whidbey Island and the Snohomish County shoreline face each other across the deep waters of Possession Sound and Puget Sound in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by the vital maritime and rail connections of the era, notably the Great Northern railroad winding along the eastern coast and the Ferry routes linking Kingston to the mainland. Coastal settlements like Edmonds, Mukilteo, and Richmond Beach appear during a period of steady growth, while inland areas show early residential patterns around Alderwood Manor and Lake Forest Park.
