About this map

The Skykomish River and Snoqualmie River converge in this fertile river valley, creating a landscape defined by its agricultural heritage and transit corridors. The city of Monroe serves as the primary hub, where Us-2, Wa-522, and Wa-203 intersect. The surrounding Tualco Valley is densely populated with named family-run agricultural operations, including Werkhoven Dairy, Frohning Dairy, and Miedema Dairy, alongside specialized sites like Bolles Organic Farm.

Cultural and civic landmarks are prominent, including the Evergreen State Fairgrounds and cemeteries such as the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem. Aviation plays a role in the local economy through Firstair Field Airport and several private strips. To the south and east, the terrain rises toward the foothills, marked by bodies of water like Lake Fontal and Lake Hannan, while the historic junction at Pearson Eddy and the high ground at High Rock denote the transition from the river bottomlands to the timbered heights.
