1956 Map of Dundee

About this map

The Red Hills of Dundee define this mid-1950s landscape in Yamhill County, where agriculture and early industry intersect along the Southern Pacific rail line. The Trappist Abbey of Our Lady of Guadalupe occupies a prominent position in the hills west of Dundee, while the Chehalem Valley to the north is dotted with local landmarks like the Ewing Young School and the Ewing Young Historical Marker. This survey illustrates the rural educational network of the era, including the Ribbon Ridge School and the Valley View School (Aband). Evidence of local history and genealogy is abundant through features such as the Noble Cemetery and various quarries. Significant terrain features like Bald Peak in the Chehalem Mountains and water sources like Chehalem Creek and the Millpond reveal the natural topography that shaped the settlement of nearby Lafayette and Sunnycrest.
