1983 Map of Seattle North

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The University of Washington campus and its surroundings define the eastern landscape of this early 1980s urban survey. Along the shores of Lake Washington and Lake Union, the map reveals a city deeply integrated with its waterways, featuring the Ship Canal and the industrial activity at Fishermens Terminal. Residential neighborhoods like Ballard, Greenwood, and Wallingford show the dense gridiron street patterns that characterized the city's northern expansion. To the west, the expansive Fort Lawton Mil Res occupies the promontory at West Point, while the eastern shore is marked by the presence of Magnuson Park and the extensive grounds of St Edwards State Park. The transition from historic industrial sites like Gas Works Park to established residential communities highlights the changing functional geography of the metropolitan area during this era.
