1903 Map of Snoqualmie

About this map

The Northern Pacific railroad corridor defines the development of this Cascade Range landscape at the turn of the twentieth century. The engineering marvel of the Stampede Tunnel facilitates movement between the settlements of Martin and Stampede, while the railway follows the Yakima River through established stops like Easton, Nelson, and the coal mining community of Ronald. This era of the Wenatchee National Forest is documented through its early administrative footprint, notably at the Salmon Lasac Ranger Sta. near the upper reaches of Cle Elum Lake.
