About this map

Marysville serves as a central hub in this mid-century portrait of Snohomish County, where the grid of town streets meets a complex network of estuarine waterways. The landscape is defined by the branching channels of Ebey Slough, Steamboat Slough, and Union Slough as they reach toward Port Gardner. This era shows the Tulalip Indian Reservation as a significant geographical presence, including the Tulalip Storage Depot military reservation.

Logistics and education are prominent, with the Great Northern and Northern Pacific railroads flanking the settled areas. Local life is documented through institutions like Marysville High Sch, Kellogg Marsh Grange, and Shoultes School. The map also captures several smaller communities and landmarks such as Priest Point, Kruse, and the Cedarcrest Golf Course, providing a detailed look at the interface between the growing city of Everett to the south and the rural agricultural lands to the north.
