About this map

The city of Dallas serves as the hub of this mid-1970s survey, showing a well-developed grid of streets and schools including Whitworth Sch and the Academy Jr Hi S. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Rickreall Creek and the intricate hydrology of the Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge to the northeast. Small satellite settlements like Fir Villa, Dolph Corner, and Polk Station reveal the rural residential pattern of the era.

Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible at the Filtration Plant, multiple Quarries, and the Southern Pacific railroad lines. For those researching family history, the map identifies several local burial grounds such as Dallas Cem, Brown Cem, and Salt Creek Cem. The transition from the valley floor to the surrounding heights is marked by landmarks like Mt Pisgah and Cadle Hill, overlooking numerous agricultural reservoirs and ponds.
