About this map

Snoqualmie Falls serves as the dramatic focal point of this mid-century landscape, where the Snoqualmie River drops toward the Powerhouse and nearby Fish Hatchery. The town of Snoqualmie is depicted as a bustling industrial and transport hub, anchored by a large Lumber Mill and served by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and Northern Pacific railroads.

The surrounding terrain transitions from the valley floor, home to the Mt Si Golf Course and Mt Si High Sch, to the high elevations of Rattlesnake Mountain. High mountain lakes like Lake Marie, Klaus Lake, and Boyle Lake dot the forested uplands, while several stretches of Old Railroad Grade hint at the area's earlier logging history. Small settlements such as Spring Glen and landmarks like the Covered Bridge further detail the local infrastructure of King County.
