About this map

The Skykomish River and the Snoqualmie River define this Pacific Northwest landscape during a period of heavy industrial and agricultural development. Along the river valleys, the Great Northern Railway and Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul RR connect timber and mining outposts with established settlements like Monroe, where the State Reformatory is a prominent landmark. To the south, Snoqualmie Falls sits near the Coke Ovens, indicating the region's early processing of natural resources. In the high country of the Snoqualmie National Forest, remote sites like the Apex Mine and various mountain cabins are accessed through the rugged drainage basins. Local education is anchored by numerous rural institutions, including the Mountain View School and Forest Glade School, serving the families of loggers and mill workers at sites like the Lovegren Mill.
