About this map

The industrial and natural landmarks of the Snoqualmie Valley are meticulously documented in this mid-century survey. The landscape is dominated by the Snoqualmie River, which drops over the iconic Snoqualmie Falls near a major Lumber Mill and Powerhouse. This economic hub is serviced by two major rail lines: the Northern Pacific and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific, highlighting the area's role in timber and transport.

Residential and recreational life center around the town of Snoqualmie, where the Mt Si High Sch and Mt Si Golf Course sit near the river's three forks. Further out, smaller settlements like Spring Glen and Ellisville appear alongside several remote lakes including Kings Lake and Boyle Lake. Local industry is further evidenced by several Quarry and Gravel Pit locations, while an Old Railroad Grade north of Tokul suggests the shifting patterns of the valley's early logging infrastructure.
