About this map

Mercer Island is the centerpiece of this suburban landscape, situated within the vast waters of Lake Washington. On the eastern shore, the transition from the waterfront Newport Shores to the elevated Newcastle Hills highlights the varied topography of King County. The map details the dense residential development of Bellevue and its surrounding communities, including Beaux Arts Village and Medina. Educational and religious landmarks are prevalent throughout the area, from Bellevue College to several specialized columbaria such as Saint Thomas Episcopal Church Columbarium.

Industrial and environmental features sit in close proximity, with the Renton Municipal Airport at the southern edge near Renton and the Silt Detention Ponds Number One managing the runoff from the expanding suburban grid. Natural drainages like May Creek and Coal Creek carve through the terrain, while landmarks like the Newcastle Cem provide a sense of the local history that predates the modern residential sprawl.
