1897 Map of Seattle
USGS Topo · Published 1904About this map
Everett and Snohomish stand as established industrial and transportation hubs in this late-nineteenth-century landscape, connected by an intricate web of rail lines including the Great Northern RR and the Everett & Monte Cristo RR. The mapping captures a pivotal moment when the shoreline of Possession Sound and the interior valleys were first being tethered by steel. The network extends south toward the developing outskirts of the Seattle area, where settlements like Edmonds, Bothell, and Redmond are already named nodes.
