1989 Map of Canyonville

About this map

Interstate 5 and the Southern Pacific Railroad provide the primary north-south corridors through this southwestern Oregon landscape, threading between steep ridges and narrow river valleys. The map documents the late-twentieth-century development of timber and transport hubs like Canyonville, Riddle, and Tri City at a time when the region's industrial backbone was heavily tied to these transit lines. To the east and west, the terrain rises into the protected reaches of the Siskiyou National Forest and Umpqua National Forest, where labels for Eden Valley and Table Rock reveal a more isolated mountain character.
