It's interesting to think about ancient rivers... "What's the Oldest River in the World." The answer may be the Finke River in Australia (Larapinta in the indigenous Arrernte language) this waterway is estimated to be around 300-400 million years old. #hiddenhydrology

One of my favorite images of Seattle, this 1891 image "Birds-eye-view of Seattle and environs King County, Wash., 1891" drawn by Augustus Koch and published by Hughes Litho. Co. from Chicago. #seattle #hiddenhydrology #history #maps

This 1938 map of Seattle's Green Lake was included in a report on algae control for the lake, conducted by the WPA. The map highlights the relative depths, or bathymetry, of the lake as colors, in 5' increments, the dark blue showing depths of around 25' depth.

"...Although hidden, these "ghost rivers" reveal their presence on days of heavy rain, when the drainage system cannot handle the volume, and they overflow, causing floods that paralyze the city." #hiddenhydrology #climatechange #flooding

Been researching tons of historical images (maps, photos and illustrations) of Seattle for the book project... (More to come on that). There are such great stories, and images really punch up the narrative. I thought it'd be fun to post some #hiddenhydrology related ones here.
