1969 Map of Corvallis

About this map

The Willamette River and Marys River converge in this mid-century portrait of a growing university town and its neighboring timberlands. The sprawling campus of Oregon State University serves as a central anchor, buffered by the dense elevations of the Mc Donald Forest to the north and the prominent Bald Hill. This 1960s survey, with photorevisions from the 1980s, documents the expansion of Corvallis eastward toward the Linn County line and westward along the Southern Pacific railroad toward Philomath.
