About this map

Stillaguamish River delta and the surrounding Snohomish County lowlands define this mid-century landscape. The twin communities of Stanwood and East Stanwood serve as the regional hubs, connected by the Burlington Northern railroad corridor. The area shows a transition from the agricultural floodplains near Florence and Norman to the elevated residential and recreational pockets around Lake Goodwin and Lake Shoecraft.

Social and civic life is anchored by landmarks like the Twin City High Sch and the Stillaguamish Grange. Coastal settlements such as Warm Beach and Kayaks Pt line the shores of Port Susan, while inland, the terrain is marked by numerous small lakes including Lake Martha and Lake Ki. The map preserves the location of essential community sites like Pleasant View Cem and the Marysville Rifle Club, providing a clear view of the area's development before more modern suburban expansion.
