About this map

The Willamette River and its multiple forks and sloughs anchor this mid-century survey of the Eugene and Springfield metropolitan area. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the burgeoning urban core and prominent geographic landmarks like Skinner Butte and Gillespie Butte. In the heart of the city, the newly constructed Autzen Stadium and the Sacred Heart General Hospital reflect a period of significant institutional growth. The map tracks the expansion of the regional infrastructure, from the Pacific Highway to the winding course of the McKenzie River in the north.

Suburban development is evident through a dense network of schools, including Sheldon High School and South Eugene High School. To the east, the community of Glenwood and Kelly Butte sit near the confluence of the river's middle fork. The document preserves the layout of local landmarks like the Eugene Country Club and several memorial grounds, including Resthaven Memorial Park, illustrating the post-war transition from riverside agricultural land to a structured academic and residential hub.
