1921 Map of Sultan

Settlement patterns are deeply tied to the railroads, with towns like Monroe, Gold Bar, and Startup clustered along the Great Northern RR. Beyond the urban centers, local life is documented through scattered rural landmarks like the Golden Maple School and Winston School, providing vital touchpoints for genealogists. The map also delineates the boundary of the Snoqualmie National Forest, showing the transition from valley settlements to the steep peaks of Mt Index and Mt Stickney.
