1957 Map of Amity

About this map

Amity anchors this 1957 survey, sitting at the junction of the Southern Pacific rail line and local highways in Yamhill County. The landscape is defined by the transition from the agricultural plains of Ash Swale and Swale Creek in the west to the elevation of the Amity Hills and the Eola Crest in the east. The map records a dense network of rural infrastructure including the Community Church at Bethel, numerous reservoirs for irrigation, and small clusters such as Finns Corner and McCoy. Notable local history markers appear throughout the area, from the Zena Cem and Landing Strip in the south to the Quarry and Eola Crest Spring tucked into the higher elevations. This edition includes purple revision data from the late 1980s, documenting modern additions like Sewage Disposal Ponds and updated road alignments while preserving the original mid-century rural character.
