1975 Map of Seattle
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Seattle and the central Puget Sound region are captured here in a period of significant suburban expansion and infrastructure development. The urban core of the city is flanked by burgeoning Eastside communities like Bellevue and Redmond as the Interstate highway system, including State Route 90 and State Route 520, reshapes the landscape around Lake Washington. To the west, the naval and industrial importance of the Kitsap Peninsula is clear, centered on Bremerton and a large U.S. Naval Reservation. The mapping reveals a complex geography of peninsulas and sounds, where maritime travel and rail lines like the Burlington Northern connect the deep waters of Puget Sound to the interior. Inland, the transition from industrial waterfronts to the foothills of the Olympic Mountains and the forests near Issaquah reflects the unique environmental setting that dictated the region's growth patterns.
