1953 Map of Hobart

About this map

The Cedar River Watershed (City of Seattle) dominates the landscape of this 1953 survey, illustrating the managed intersection of municipal infrastructure and the Washington wilderness. The Cedar River flows through the southern portion of the quadrangle, where the Seattle Water Supply Intake and Landsburg mark critical points in the city's water system. Settlement is concentrated around Hobart, featuring the Hobart Sch, while the former town of Taylor (Site) is recorded further east. Industrial activity is evidenced by a Shingle Mill and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad line. Topographical highlights include Tiger Mtn Lookout and South Tiger Mtn, which overlook a network of timber and access routes like the Old Railroad Grade and Holder Road. A Fish Hatchery and the Walsh Lake Nursery near Walsh Lake further reflect the region's focus on natural resource management.
