Small promotional map and text, promoting the commercial advantages of Everett, Washington.
This map presents an early 20th-century cartographic depiction of Washington state, highlighting the region's rich natural resources and strategic position as a gateway to the Pacific and the Orient. The map's emphasis on the variety of natural resources, such as timber, grain, and minerals, underscores the state's economic vitality during this period.
The cartographic focus is on Everett, depicted not merely as a point on the map, but as a nexus of industry and commerce. The map notes Everett’s advantageous location where the transcontinental railroad meets the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean—a confluence that positions the city as a significant hub for trade and transportation.
The detailed legend and annotations reveal Everett's industrial prowess, including numerous sawmills, paper mills, and other manufacturing facilities. The reference to the city's doubling population and substantial wage bill reflects a boomtown in the midst of rapid growth and economic prosperity.
