2023 Map of Monroe

About this map

The Skykomish River and Snoqualmie River define the hydraulic character of this Snohomish County landscape, winding through a complex system of sloughs and oxbow lakes. The city of Monroe sits at a geographic hub where Monroe North and Monroe Junction meet the river valley. To the south, the valley floor transitions into the Tualco Valley and the prominent rising terrain of High Rock. Local history is anchored by the Odd Fellows Cem North and Odd Fellows Cem South, situated near the early aviation grounds of First Air Field. The map records a dense network of upland water bodies including Lake Fontal, Lake Hannan, and Lake Margaret, tucked into the drainages of Hannan Creek and Cherry Creek. Small settlements like Cherry Valley and Pearson Eddy reflect the historical rural footprint of the region.
