2020 Map of Hobart

About this map

The settlement of Hobart serves as a central point in this landscape where suburban residential pockets meet the steep timberlands of King County. To the north, Mirrormont sits at the foot of Tiger Mtn, while the southern reaches are dominated by the Cedar River and the industrial infrastructure surrounding Walsh Lake. The map reveals a transition from the agricultural and mill heritage of Taylor Mill Pond to a modern recreation-focused economy, evidenced by a dense network of trails such as Off The Grid, Joy Ride, and the Preston Railroad Trail. Former timber and rail corridors, including the Iverson Railroad Trail, have been repurposed, showing how the movement of resources has shifted to the movement of people through the forest. Significant hydrological management is visible through the Walsh Lake-Diversion Ditch, reflecting the long-standing importance of this watershed to the regional water supply.
