1957 Map of Gervais

About this map

Gervais and the surrounding Willamette Valley landscape are defined here by a dense grid of agricultural infrastructure and early transit corridors. The Southern Pacific and Burlington Northern railroads anchor the settlements of Brooks, Waconda, and Quinaby, while the Pacific Highway East and Baldock Freeway facilitate movement through the heart of Marion County. A notable concentration of historic institutions is evident, from the U S Indian School at Chemawa in the south to the Sacred Heart Sch in the north.
