About this map

Chandler Mountain and Cassnor Peak define the high ground of this Linn County landscape during the late 1980s, where the drainage of the Calapooia River meets several smaller forks and creeks. The map documents a predominantly rural and industrial terrain, marked by numerous resource extraction sites like a Quarry and various Borrow Pits scattered across the elevations. Evidence of historical transport infrastructure is visible through the Old RR Grade which runs parallel to the river, tracing the path of former logging or industrial rail lines through the valley.

Small settlements and community nodes like Calapooia, Mitchell, Woodraffe, and Dollar are scattered along the watercourses, including Ames Creek and Sweet Home Creek. The survey also delineates the Willamette Meridian and the transition between Linn Co and neighboring jurisdictions, providing a clear view of land divisions and property boundaries amidst the timbered slopes and river bottoms of the Cascade foothills.
