1961 Map of Canby

About this map

Petes Mountain dominates the center of this landscape, its steep slopes descending toward the wide sweep of the Willamette River. This 1961 document, updated in the mid-1980s, captures a riverside community defined by its waterways and transport links, from the Canby Ferry still operating north of Canby to the Southern Pacific tracks running through Barlow. The map reveals a dense network of early local landmarks, including the Grange Hall near Advance and several historic burial grounds such as the Robert Bird Cemetery and Zoar Cem.
