Scanned from: History of the Pacific Northwest : Oregon and Washington. Portland, Or. : North Pacific History Co., 1889. v. 2, p. 246. The town of Snohomish began, loosely, in 1859 when three men filed land claims at the spot where a proposed military road from Fort Steilacoom to Fort Bellingham was to cross the Snohomish River. Though the military road was never fully completed to the north, Snohomish still became the major center of the area as a result of the crossing. Snohomish was considered the area's major center for many years to come. Gradually the distinction turned to Everett, located five miles to the northeast on the Puget Sound. However, at the time pictured here, Snohomish was still the most important town. The railroad bridge pictured on the right here was completed on September 22, 1888, and cemented the towns importance as a lumber center. The insets: The Blackman Block was the home of Blackman Bros., a general merchandise store, as well as a jeweler, a confectioner, and several lawyers. The Eye was the Snohomish newspaper. Cathcart Hall was briefly the home of the first Snohomish bank.

description: 1 view : col ; 30 x 42 cm. Insets: Arlington National Bank, Union Block, First Nation Bank of Arlington, and the Sanford House. Scanned from: History of the Pacific Northwest : Oregon and Washington. Portland, Or. : North Pacific History Co., 1889. v. 2, p. 350. Arlington was first settled in 1880, after the area was used through much of the previous decade as a meeting point where cattlemen would gather their cattle for sale. Originally named Alkali (after the Alkali Canyon, which it was located at the mouth of), the name was changed to Arlington in 1885 when the town was incorporated. The origin of the name Arlington is uncertain- it is presumed to be either after a prominent resident, Nathan Arlington Cornish, or after Arlington, VA in honor of that town's prominent resident of the day, southern General Robert E. Lee. The entire town of Arlington was relocated just uphill between 1953 and 1973, when the building of the John Day Dam drowned (on January 2nd, 1968) old Arlington for good.

Birdseye view of the city of Whatcom, Washington Territory 1888, (1889)
subject: Washington (State) -- Maps Whatcom, Wash. -- Pictorial works
description: 1 view : col ; 30 x 42 cm. Scanned from: History of the Pacific Northwest : Oregon and Washington. Portland, Or. : North Pacific History Co., 1889. v. 2, p. 138. Inset: Lake Whatcom. Whatcom was the first town in the area, founded originally around a lumber mill. The discovery of coal in the local hills provided impetus for further growth, and the prospect (which proved false, in the end, due to the impassability of the mountains to the east) of the area being the western terminus for the transcontinental Great Northern Railroad pushed a boom. In 1890, the nearby town of Sehome was merged into Whatcom, while two other nearby towns, Fairhaven and Bellingham, combined as Fairhaven. In 1903 Whatcom and Fairhaven incorporated into one town, taking the mutually acceptable name of Bellingham. Lake Whatcom is located approximately 3 miles east of Whatcom/Bellingham.

Scanned from: History of the Pacific Northwest : Oregon and Washington. Portland, Or. : North Pacific History Co., 1889. v. 2, p. 106. The Mt. Vernon area was first settled in 1870, and the town was founded in 1877. It was named after George Washington's home and burial site. Due to its central position in the county, and its accessibility from the sound up the Skagit River, Mt. Vernon became the county seat of Skagit County in 1884. The flag in the center of the drawing was raised in 1877, when John Lorenzy trimmed the limbs from a very straight 200 ft cedar tree, and attached the flag to it at a height of 147 feet. It was destroyed in a 1891 fire which also destroyed the Washington Hotel (upper left inset), and 17 other buildings.

Located at the convergence of five canyons and three creeks, Heppner was ideally situated as a central trading center, and the town grew very rapidly. By 1873, 4 years after the first settler arrived, the town had at least two general stores, a doctor, a drug store, a saloon, a post office, and a school. Much of the residential area seen here was destroyed in a 1903 flash flood which killed 200 people.

Mounted on cloth backing. George Otis Smith, later director of the U.S. Geological Survey, actually has a hand in surveying the geography of Washington State. In the early 1900s, Smith was part of a team of surveyors sent to study the American-Canadian border when the two neighbors agreed to have the border resurveyed. For most of the 1800s, maps had focused on land in terms of acquiring access (railroads, trails), and assuring settlement. With the interest engendered by the Californian and Alaskan gold rushes of the latter half of that century, maps began to focus on the geologic aspects of the northwest as well.

In certain cases this land was traded for other lands, and the quantity of land also depended on several things, including the exact arrangement and whether the land was in a state or in a territory.

"Edition of Feb. 1900" Diagram depicts which topographers were responsible for which areas of the map Land classification surveyed in 1897 "Contour interval 50 feet. Datum is mean sea level." Text on verso: FOREST CONDITIONS OF THE TACOMA QUADRANGLE This land classification sheet, representing the Tacoma quadrangle, shows the area which at the time of survey, in 1894-95, was covered with woods, and the areas containing timber of merchantable size and quality, which, as defined by the practice in Washington, includes trees having a butt diameter of 20 inches or more, with a length below branches of at least 32 feet. It shows, furthermore, the portions of the quadrangle which have been cut over or culled for lumber or clearing, and those which have been burned. As is seen, most of these areas have, since the cutting and burning, commenced to become reforested. The areas naturally devoid of forests are also indicated, including a few square miles at the head of Commencement Bay, a small area in the valley of White River, and a large area south of Tacoma. The last is an area of approximately level land, covered by coarse glacial deposits, in which the copious rainfall rapidly sinks, making it, to all intents and purposes, an arid soil. It is because of this feature of the soil that the region is largely open and park-like. It contains scattered groves of trees, largely composed of lodgepole pine, a species here of no merchantable value. The trees are of small size, and branch nearly to the ground. The total area of this quadrangle is 812 square miles. Of this the land area is approximately 737 square miles, the remainder being included in Puget Sound and a few small lakes. With the exception of the areas above mentioned which are naturally timberless or are covered with lodgepole pine, and which include abo…

Land classification surveyed in 1897 Diagram depicts which topographers were responsible for which areas of the map Text from the verso: FOREST CONDITIONS OF THE SEATTLE QUADRANGLE. This land-classification sheet, representing the Seattle quadrangle, shows the area which at the time of survey, in 1894-95, was covered with woods, and the area estimated to contain timber of merchantable size and quantity, which, as defined by the practice in Washington, includes trees having a butt diameter of 20 inches or more, with a length below branches of at least 32 feet. It shows, furthermore, the portions of the quadrangle which have been cut over or culled for lumber or clearing, and the area which has been burned. As is seen, most, if not all, of these areas have, since the cutting and burning, commenced to become reforested. The areas naturally devoid of forests are also indicated. The total area of this quadrangle is 804 square miles. Of this the land area is estimated at 565 square miles, 239 square miles being occupied by Puget Sound and its arms and by Washington and Sammamish lakes and other smaller bodies of water. This land was formerly covered with forests of merchantable timber, with the exception of some 20 square miles of swamp lands in the valley of Snohomish River and at the head of Elliot Bay, near Seattle, which were naturally without forests. Of this timbered area of 545 square miles, there have been cut or culled for lumber, or cleared for settlement, not less than 330 square miles, and there have been burned 40 square miles. Thus, since settlement began in this region the timber has been destroyed on an area of 370 square miles, or two-thirds of the area formerly forested, leaving only 175 square miles in merchantable …

Colton's map of the states and territories west of the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean : showing the overland routes, projected rail road lines, &c, (1864)
subject: West (U.S.) -- Maps. Indians of North America -- Maps Railroads -- West (U.S.) -- Maps.
description: 1 map : hand col. ; 67 x 97 cm. Relief shown by hachures and spot heights. Also shows locations of native tribes. Cover title: Colton's map of the states & territories from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean, &c. "Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1864 by J.H. Colton in the Clerk's Office of the District Court for the Southern District of New York." Prime meridians: Greenwich and Washington. Originally folded, in cover 16 x 11 cm. The approximate date of this map is easily distinguishable in a quick glance, as the Idaho Territory was formed out of the Washington Territory in 1863, and subsequently split into the Idaho and Montana Territories just one year later, in 1864. Also of note on this map are the Nevada borders, which are at this time further west and north than they are in present day. The Nevada Territory was created in 1861, extended into Utah in 1862, statehood was granted in 1864, and then the State was extended further into both Utah and Arizona in 1866. Nevada's rush to Statehood came about mostly due to the Union's need of tax revenue from the extensive silver mines there to finance its actions in the Civil War. The expansion into the Arizona and Utah territories (moving the western Nevada border from 117 degrees west longitude to 114 degrees and south through Arizona along the Colorado) came about from the desire to place a strategically important pass, located just east of then sleepy Las Vegas on the Old Spanish Trail, inside incorporated United States territory, and outside of both Mormon and notoriously lawless Arizonan hands.

Map of Chehalis County, Washington compiled from government and county records and published by C. H. Fenner , C.E. and Surveyor, (1893)
subject: Washington (State) -- Maps. Chehalis County (Wash.) -- Maps. Washington (State) imprints, 19th century, 1893.
description: 1 blueprint map ; 74 x 75 cm. fold. to 17 x 10 cm. Original folding blueprint map. Color coding manuscripts additions indicate Weyerhauser and other timber interests. Fenner also located cities, railroads, the Quinault Indian Reservation and a large northern region of the county as mountainous and unsurveyed. Gray's Harbor is also shown. "Entered according to act of Congress in the year 1893 by C.H. Fenner in the office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington." WSU MASC copy inscribed on verso, "W Cooney = Complimentary =". An attempt was made in 1907 to subdivide Chehalis County into two counties: Chehalis and Grays Harbor. Though the state legislature approved this, it was overturned by the State Supreme Court on constitutional grounds. Chehalis County as a whole changed its name to Grays Harbor County in 1915, and this map accurately represent the county lines that are in effect today.
