About this map

The Tulalip Indian Reservation dominates the western landscape of this mid-century survey, bordering the intricate waterways of Possession Sound and the Snohomish River. The map documents a critical period of regional development, showing the expansion of Marysville and the industrial presence of the Tulalip Storage Depot. Along the river's delta, a complex network of sloughs including Ebey Slough, Union Slough, and Steamboat Slough surrounds Smith Island and Ebey Island, illustrating the tide-influenced geography of the Puget Sound lowlands.

Local social life is anchored by landmarks like the Priest Point Grange and Kellogg Marsh Grange, while the educational landscape is marked by community schools such as Shoultes School and Liberty Sch. Transportation corridors are defined by the Northern Pacific and Burlington Northern railroads, which facilitated the movement of goods through coastal hubs like Everett and smaller settlements such as Stimson Crossing.
