1950 Map of Kirkland

About this map

The eastern shores of Lake Washington are captured here just before the massive post-war suburban expansion reshaped the Eastside. The city of Kirkland serves as the primary hub, connected to the western shore by the Seattle-Kirkland Ferry, while the Northern Pacific railroad tracks wind through the lowland valleys. The landscape still retains significant open spaces and early recreational sites, including the Bridle Trail State Park and several local greenspaces like the Juanita Golf Course.
