1909 Map of Seattle
USGS Topo · Published 1936About this map
The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition grounds and the State University campus dominate the landscape of early 20th-century Seattle, reflecting a period of rapid urban transformation and civic ambition. This 1908 culture revision documents a city defined by its complex waterways, from the busy industrial shoreline of Elliott Bay to the emerging residential districts near Green Lake and Lake Union. The expansion of the city is evident in the dense street grids of Ballard and South Seattle, while the meandering course of the Duwamish River remains largely unstraightened, winding past Georgetown and South Park.
