1956 Map of Monroe

About this map

The Skykomish River valley serves as the central corridor for this mid-century survey, where the town of Monroe functions as a vital agricultural and transportation hub. The landscape is defined by its transition from the fertile river bottoms and the Evergreen State Fairgrounds to the timbered reaches of the Snoqualmie National Forest. To the south, the Snoqualmie River carves a deep bend near Pearson Eddy, while the uplands are dotted with numerous glacial lakes such as Lake Roesiger, Flowing Lake, and Lake Hannan.
