Vicinity Map Duwamish River and its tributaries, drawn by A. Downing, (1898)

Duwamish River (Wash.) <br>Rivers--Washington (State)

1 map; 40 x 45 cm. Scale 1/4 inch = 1 mile<br>"Indicating sheets 1 to 6 embraced by survey"<br>Map shows rail road lines. <br>This map comes from a governmental survey of the Duwamish River, intended to determine what uses the River could be put to, and what actions needed taken to make full use of the River. The conclusion made in the document is that improvement would not be cost effective at the time. The Duwamish was, at this time, no longer used for transportation, and the conclusion of the authors was that money spent for flood control purposes would not equal the value of the land protected by them.
