About this map

Everett serves as a major industrial and maritime hub where the Snohomish River flows through a complex delta into Port Gardner. The river system is defined by intricate waterways including Ebey Slough, Steamboat Slough, and Union Slough, separating Spencer Island and other low-lying tracts from the growing city. This 1950s survey shows the urban core densely packed with social infrastructure, from the Everett Jr College and North Jr HS to the Armory and Providence Hospital.

Southern expansion is visible through established neighborhoods like Lowell, Pinehurst, and Beverly Park, while industrial activity is anchored by a Sawmill on the riverfront and the Great Northern railroad tracks. Further south, the landscape transitions toward freshwater bodies like Silver Lake and Ruggs Lake, interspersed with smaller communities such as Fairmount and Intercity. The inclusion of purple-tinted 1970s revisions highlights the rapid mid-century suburbanization pushing toward Murphys Corner and Osborn Corner.
