1923 Map of Sultan

About this map

Snoqualmie Falls and the surrounding river valleys anchor this early twentieth-century survey of the Western Cascades foothills. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of the timber and rail industries, evidenced by the Great Northern RR and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific RR tracing the river bends. This era captures the transition of frontier settlements into established agricultural and industrial hubs, with small community centers like Startup and Stillwater serving the local population.
