1956 Map of Lake Stevens

About this map

The Lake Stevens shoreline and the surrounding Snohomish County timber and farming lands are documented here in the mid-1950s. The Northern Pacific railroad serves as the primary industrial spine, connecting the small settlements of Getchell, Lochsloy, and Hartford. The latter emerges as a central hub, situated near the north shore of the lake and the southern reach of Little Pilchuck Creek. The presence of several rural institutions, such as the East Sunnyside School, Mt Pilchuck School, and the Granville Grange, indicates a well-established community structure during this era of post-war growth.
