1923 Map of Sultan

About this map

The Great Northern RR and Northern Pacific RR anchor the industrial landscape of the Skykomish and Snoqualmie River valleys during the early 1920s. This survey reveals a region defined by timber and early resource extraction, featuring the Apex Mine and Coke Ovens near Snoqualmie Falls. Small rural communities are clearly visible, including the State Reformatory at Monroe and the settlement of Carnation Tolt PO. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, identifying numerous localized landmarks such as Forest Glade School, Shady Grove School, and remote outposts like Iowa Cabin and Lone Pine Cabin. Dramatic elevation changes are marked by Wallace Falls and Bridalveil Falls, while the transition from developed valley floors to the high peaks of the Snoqualmie National Forest is well-documented.
