1943 Map of Marysville

About this map

The Tulalip Indian Reservation dominates the western shoreline of this 1941 survey, where the waters of Possession Sound meet a complex network of sloughs and river deltas. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Stillagumish River and the Snohomish River, creating a low-lying patchwork of waterways including Steamboat Slough and Ebey Slough. Settlement patterns follow the competing lines of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railroads, which anchor towns like Arlington, Marysville, and Getchell. Rural life is marked by numerous local schools serving the farming and timber communities, such as Kellogg Marsh Sch and Sunnyside Sch. Further east, the terrain rises toward Ebey Hill and the South Fork Stillaguamish River, while Lake Stevens serves as a prominent landmark in the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
