1960 Map of Estacada

About this map

The Clackamas River serves as the industrial and topographic spine of this region during the 1960s, anchoring the community of Estacada. The landscape is defined by early hydroelectric development, including the River Mill Powerhouse, Cazadero Powerhouse, and Cazadero Dam, which created Faraday Lake. These facilities represent the era's reliance on river power for local infrastructure. North of the river, an Abandoned Railroad traces a path toward Eagle Creek, marking the transition from rail-dependent industry to a more road-focused network of local routes like Firwood Road and Duus Road.
