Edmonds West Washington Shoreline Woodway USGS Topo Map 1976

$47

This is a 7.5-minute USGS topographic map, a 1953 edition carrying photorevisions from 1968 and 1973, printed in 1976 on thick stock and in very good condition — lightly handled, never folded, with a flawless map area and only minor collar wear alongside a small inventory notation and a library stamp. Located about 15 miles north of Seattle, the quad takes in Edmonds and Woodway on the mainland, Richmond Beach and part of Shoreline to the south, and reaches across Puget Sound to Indianola, Kingston, and part of the Port Madison Indian Reservation on the Kitsap Peninsula. The 20-foot contour interval traces the bluffs and shoreline along this stretch of the Sound, and having never been folded, the sheet lies flat for framing.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Edmonds West 7.5-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, paths, railroads, utilities and energy infrastructure, rivers, creeks, elevation contour lines, public land survey lines, county, state, and other administrative boundaries as they existed at the time of the survey in 1952 and 1953. A reddish tint is used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings are depicted. Outside of those areas, all known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are shown.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
This map is from the 7.5-minute series, the most detailed series that is widely available from the USGS. The 1953 Edmonds West map is a valuable historical record for the area. It contains some placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent maps.

The map was photorevised in 1968 and 1973. Any features that changed or were added between the original edition year of 1953 and the photorevision year of 1968 and 1973 are overlayed in purple. The purple overlay provides an excellent view of the fast-growing and changing areas within the quad boundary.
