Abstract

Population Growth in the Pnget Sound Region ÜABL II. MAPES Lincoln lililí School, Seattle, Washington Acting upon the suggestion of an English geographer that ninetynine percent of geography can be expressed in maps, a series of seven dot and circle maps has been prepared to show the growth of Puget Sound cities by census decades from 1870 to 1930. The re- ter highway. News of the discovery of gold in California came by boat in 1848 and almost depopulated the struggling settlements. A territorial census taken in 1849 north of the Columbia River, only 189 of whom were American citi- showed 304 people in all Oregon zens. By 1851 many of the original settlers had returned from the cruits, but what was more valu- marks that follow represent an attempt to evaluate some of the geographic conditions that help to ex- plain the facts thus illustrated. gold fields bringing with them not only increased capital and new reable, the knowledge that San Francisco offered a ready market for ducts of the Sound Region. The federal census of 1850 had already reflected this return, a total of Old Fort Nisqually, the first white settlement on Puget Sound, was established
