About this map

Hobart serves as the central settlement in this portion of King County, where the landscape transitions from residential clusters like Mirrormont to the industrial and resource management corridors of the Cedar River. The map highlights the area's history of timber and water management, visible through the presence of the Shingle Mill and the Taylor Mill Pond Dam. To the south, the Seattle Water Supply Intake near Landsburg underscores the region's vital role in urban infrastructure, while the Walsh Lake Diversion Ditch illustrates the complex engineering used to manage local hydrology.

Mountainous terrain dominates the northern and eastern sections, anchored by Tiger Mountain and the Tiger Mountain Lookout. These uplands are drained by a network of named waterways including Holder Creek, Carey Creek, and the Raging River. Small historical locations such as Taylor and Trude appear along the drainage of Rock Creek and the river valley, offering specific points of interest for those researching local genealogy or the development of rural Washington settlements.
