About this map

The dense residential and institutional landscape of northern Seattle is intricately charted here, stretching from the heights of Capitol Hill to the northern boundary at Shoreline. This detailed record captures a sophisticated urban environment defined by its water-bound geography, where the Montlake Cut and Portage Bay link Lake Union to the expansive Union Bay Reach of Lake Washington. The map serves as a vital resource for genealogists and local historians, meticulously documenting numerous burial grounds such as Evergreen-Washelli Memorial Park East and the Grand Army of the Republic Cem.

Academic and medical centers anchor the districts, most notably the sprawling campus of the University of Washington, including the University of Washington Medical Center-Magnuson Health Center. Neighborhood character is preserved through the labeling of historic areas like Phinney Ridge, Greenwood, and Ravenna, while the infrastructure of the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge and major arteries like Aurora Ave N illustrate the transit arteries connecting these communities in the twenty-first century.
