About this map

The Skykomish River and Snoqualmie River converge just west of this 2017 survey area, defining a landscape of fertile valley floors and rising upland plateaus. The city of Monroe serves as the primary hub, where the BNSF Railway parallels the river and connects the town to Monroe Junction. This region is characterized by its complex hydrology, featuring numerous swamps and smaller lakes such as Lake Fontal, Lake Hannan, and the Johnsons Swamp complex.

Genealogical interest is found in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem and Monroe Memorial Park near the northern edge of town. To the south, the city of Duvall sits along the Snoqualmie, marking the transition from Snohomish into King County. Smaller rural settlements like High Rock and Cherry Valley are scattered among the ridges, while aviation history is represented by the First Air Field and Van de Plasch Airport.
