1953 Map of Everett

About this map

The industrial and maritime character of the Everett waterfront is captured here at a time when the Snohomish River delta was a labyrinth of active waterways and timber processing. To the west, Port Gardner and Possession Sound border the city's western edge, while a massive sawmill stands near the river, signaling the importance of the lumber industry. The map reveals the dense institutional fabric of the city, from the Armory and Memorial Stadium to Everett Jr College and the St Dominic Convent. Beyond the city center, the landscape transitions into tidal flats and sloughs like Deadwater Slough and Union Slough, where Spencer Island is defined by a series of levees. To the south, suburban growth is visible in neighborhoods like Beverly Park and Pinehurst, while the presence of the Marshland Sch (Aband) near Ebey Slough offers a specific point of interest for those tracking the disappearance of rural school districts.
