1943 Map of Marysville

About this map

The Stillaguamish River and its intricate network of sloughs and forks dominate this mid-century landscape of Snohomish County. The confluence at Arlington serves as a major hub for the Northern Pacific and Great Northern rail lines, reflecting the region's importance for timber and transit. To the south, the Tulalip Indian Reservation borders the growing town of Marysville, which is characterized by a grid of early streets and proximity to Ebey Slough. Local education is well-represented through numerous rural schoolhouses such as Shoultes Sch, Kellogg Marsh Sch, and Newburg Sch, which once served these timber and farming communities. The presence of a Landing Field near Edgecomb and the developed American Legion Memorial Park in Everett provide insight into the wartime era's civic and logistical infrastructure.
