1967 Map of Eugene West

About this map

The western expansion of Eugene is captured during a period of significant suburban development and industrial infrastructure growth. The landscape is defined by the corridors of the Southern Pacific and the Oregon Electric Line, which navigate between the rising elevations of Oak Hill and Murray Hill. This 1960s survey documents a transitional era where agricultural lands were increasingly occupied by residential tracts and civic institutions, notably the dense concentration of schools such as Willamette High Sch and North Eugene High Sch. To the north, the Mahlon Sweet Airport serves as a major regional hub, while the presence of the Balboa Park Drag Strip and the Eugene Speedway reflects the era's local recreation culture. Religious and memorial sites, including the Carmel of Maria Regina Monastery and several cemeteries, provide stable landmarks amidst the shifting corporate boundaries of Santa Clara and Danebo.
