1957 Map of Albany

About this map

The Willamette River and its complex network of sloughs, channels, and islands dominate this mid-century survey of the mid-Willamette Valley. Large alluvial islands like Kiger Island and Stahlbusch Island are detailed alongside a landscape transitioning from the wartime footprint of Camp Adair State Mil Res to suburban growth at Adair Village. The map captures the significant agricultural and industrial presence in Albany, where the Southern Pacific tracks and the Pacific Highway East intersect with established local landmarks like Waverly Lake and Bryant Park.
