1956 Map of Dundee

About this map

Chehalem Valley and its surrounding uplands appear here in a transition between their agricultural roots and modern development, reflecting data compiled as early as 1954 and revised through 1989. The prominent Red Hills and Ribbon Ridge dominate the landscape, providing the distinct topography that defines the region's character. In the southern corner, the city of Dundee sits along the Southern Pacific railroad line, while Lafayette marks the western edge of the survey. Cultural landmarks such as the Trappist Abbey of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the West Chehalem (Site) offer specific points of interest for local historians. This era shows an landscape of evolving transit, with several Landing Strips appearing among the traditional Quarries and Gravel Pits, while the Ewing Young Historical Marker near Ewing Young School preserves the area's pioneer heritage.
