1956 Map of Ballston

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Yamhill Co Polk Co line divides this agricultural landscape, where the South Yamhill River meanders across a wide valley floor. The settlement of Ballston serves as a central point along the Southern Pacific railroad line, which provided a vital transportation link for local agriculture during the mid-20th century. Evidence of the region’s grain production is visible at the grain elevators located near Perrydale and along the rail corridor. Smaller communities like Bellevue and Broadmead are connected by a network of rural roads, including Highway 18 and the Amity Dallas Road. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial grounds, such as Yocum Cem, Ball Cem, and the Deer Creek Cem near Deer Creek. The terrain is further defined by seasonal drainages like Salt Creek and Ash Swale, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped local farm boundaries.
