About this map

The Snohomish River divides this landscape into a dense urban grid and a complex network of tidewater sloughs. In the west, the city of Everett occupies the peninsula between Port Gardner and the river, showing a developed industrial waterfront marked by a Sawmill and the Naval Res. The 1968 revisions, indicated in purple, trace the southward expansion of neighborhoods like Beverly Park and Fairmount along the Pacific Hwy.

East of the river, the character shifts to the reclaimed marshlands of Spencer Island and the meandering Ebey Slough. This area preserves rural landmarks like Swans Trail School and the Swan Trail, contrasting with the heavy rail infrastructure of the Great Northern and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads. Inland to the south, residential pockets emerge near Silver Lake and Ruggs Lake, while established institutions like St Dominic Convent and Providence Hospital anchor the older city core.
