Nearly every village has its canning 

 factory, and during the preserving sea- 

 son the hum of industry is loud. Fa- 

 cilities for marketing garden produce 

 are, fortunately, excellent. This area 

 was surveyed in 1 904 in cooperation with 

 the state of Maryland. The topographic 

 work was done by Messrs Robert Coe, 

 T. G. Basinger, and L. S. Leopold. 

 The control was established by Messrs 

 G. T. Hawkins, W. Carvel Hall, E. S. 

 Kla, Carroll Caldwell, and R. L. Har- 

 rison. 



THE OKANOGAN QUADRANGLE, 

 WASHINGTON 



The town of Bruster, on the Columbia, 

 is the chief settlement in the quadrangle. 

 In times of high water a boat plies from 

 Bruster up the Okanogan to Riverside. 



The topography for this map was done 

 by Mr L. C. Fletcher, who was assisted 

 by Mr W. C. Guerin. The triangula- 

 tion was the work of Mr C. F. Urquhart. 



THE SKYKOMISH QUADRANGLE, 

 WASHINGTON 



In this lofty region some of the grand- 

 est mountain scenery on the continent 

 may be enjoyed by passengers on the 

 Great Northern Railroad, which runs 

 east and west through the center of the 

 quadrangle. By means of the Great 

 Cascade tunnel, which is only a few feet 

 short of 2 miles in length, the railroad 

 pierces the summit of the mountain 

 range and descends by tortuous windings 

 about 2,600 feet within the quadrangle. 

 One of the most striking scenic features 

 along the road is Index Mountain, a 

 great granite pinnacle nearly a mile 

 high, which looks like a huge copy of 

 the Leaning Tower of Pisa. 



Many beautiful glacial lakes lie along 

 the slopes of the mountains. Oppor- 

 tunities for the development of water 

 power are numerous. A short distance 

 west of this quadrangle are Snoqualmie 

 Falls, whence comes the power which 

 generates electricity for Seattle. 



Very good grazing lands are found 

 in the northeast corner of the quadran- 

 gle, where many sheep browse during 

 the summer. 



The principal town of the region is 

 Skykomish. Situated on the line of the 

 Great Northern Railroad and on the 

 Skykomish River also, it is the chief 

 source of supplies for the miners through- 

 out the quadrangle. Large lumber 

 mills are located there. 



The topographic work within the 

 Washington Forest Reserve was done 

 by Mr T. G. Gerdine in 1897. The 

 rest of the quadrangle was surveyed in 

 1902, under the general supervision of 

 Mr A. E. Murlin, by Messrs Murlin, 

 C. W. Sutton, and W. C. Guerin. 



THE WAYNE QUADRANGLE 



This is a part of the richest and most 

 populous county in the state of Michi- 

 gan. The chief topographic feature of 

 the quadrangle is the ancient bed of 

 Lake Erie, which extends from the 600 

 to the 720-foot contour, to the old shore 

 line, or Belmore beach, running through 

 Plymouth and Farmington to the north- 

 east. Northwest of the Belmore beach 

 the surface is a broken terminal moraine. 



The principal occupations of the peo- 

 ple of this area are farming, dairying, 

 and the raising of fruits and vegetables. 

 In the larger villages there are some 

 small manufacturing establishments. 

 At Northville there is a federal fish 

 hatchery. The Wayne County Home, 

 a model institution of its kind, is located 

 at Eloise. 



The topography of the map was done 

 by Messrs Robert Muldrow and J. T. 

 McCoy, the control by Messrs George 

 T. Hawkins and J. R. Ellis. 



THE LARAMIE QUADRANGLE, 

 WYOMING 



It embraces about 900 square miles in 

 Albany county. Laramie, which enjoys 

 the distinction of being the county seat, 

 is a thriving town, with a population of
