1970 Map of Crabtree

About this map

The South Santiam River and North Santiam River converge in this agricultural landscape of the Willamette Valley, where water remains the primary shaper of the land. The presence of multiple Covered Bridge labels across Thomas Creek and Crabtree Creek speaks to the region's preservation of older infrastructure during the early 1970s. Key settlements like Crabtree and West Scio are situated along the Southern Pacific railroad line, which cuts through a network of family-named roads and drainage features like Smallman Slough and McKinney Bottom. Genealogists will find value in the location of the Jefferson Cem, Central Cem, and the Lakeview Sch, while the scattered Quarry and Gravel Pit sites near Salem Hills and Hungry Hill reflect the local resource extraction of the era.
