Summary

Description

A map of Seattle in 1909, created by combining portions of the following public domain images:

This map shows the historic locations of some neighborhoods whose names have fallen out of use in the century since:

  • Ross between Ballard and Fremont
  • Edgewater (roughly today's Wallingford)
  • Brooklyn (today's University District)
  • Renton Hill for part of what would today be considered part of First Hill (or, in its most easterly portion, part of the Central District)

It also shows:

  • A much longer Smith Cove (much of which was later filled), with the Great Northern Docks
  • Lincoln Park for today's Cal Anderson Park
  • The Moran Shipyard anchoring the south end of the Central Waterfront (now a container port)
  • A somewhat loose map for Harbor Island (still under construction at the time)
  • The size of the various lakes and freshwater bays before the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks lowered the water level
  • The canal extending from the East Waterway near Spokane Street.
  • The arrangement of streets between Lake Union and Capitol Hill before Interstate 5 came through.
