About this map

The Snohomish River delta defines the landscape east of Everett, where the waterway fractures into Union Slough, Steamboat Slough, and Ebey Slough. This mid-century survey reveals the city's complex industrial and social footprint, from the Naval Res on Port Gardner to the numerous schoolhouses serving growing neighborhoods like Pinehurst and Lowell. Evidence of the region's timber and transport economy is visible in the Sawmill and the rail lines of the Northern Pacific and Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific.

Family history is particularly well-documented here through extensive cemetery records, including the large Evergreen Cemetery, City Cem, and Cypress Lawn Cem. To the south, the landscape shifts toward rural school districts and small junctions such as Murphys Corner and Cavalero Corner. Notable landmarks like the Childrens Home and the Providence Hospital are preserved alongside curious details like the Emander Sch (Aband), reflecting the shifting settlement patterns of Snohomish County.
