About this map

The Snoqualmie River meanders through this landscape, flanked by a complex network of sloughs and oxbows including Green Horseshoe Slough, Stickney Slough, and Janicke Slough. The settlement of Fall City serves as a focal point near the river's bend, while the Fall City Cem sits just to the southeast. To the south, the topography rises sharply toward Mitchell Hill and W Tiger Mtn, separated by the corridor of the Raging River.

Transportation patterns are defined by the Snoqualmie Valley Trail N and the historic water infrastructure of the Water Pipeline Trail near Ames Lake. This survey captures the rural character of the region just as suburban expansion from Sammamish and Issaquah begins to reach these foothills. Researchers can trace the development of small communities like Preston and Upper Preston nestled along the river valleys and mountain passes.
