1950 Map of Redmond

About this map

Redmond is shown as a growing hub in the Sammamish Valley during a mid-century period of suburban expansion. The map captures the transition from rural timber and agricultural land to modern residential developments, including the footprint of Marymoor Park and the burgeoning community of Bellevue to the southwest. Transportation history is well-preserved here, following the Burlington Northern line and an Old Railroad Grade that winds through the terrain near Union Hill.
