1984 Map of Green Peter

About this map

Green Peter Dam anchors this mid-1980s landscape in Linn County, where the impounded Green Peter Lake meets the Middle Santiam River. The area is characterized by heavy industrial and recreational use, shown through numerous quarries, borrow pits, and transmission lines that power the region. Shoreline developments like Sunnyside Park and Lewis Cr Park sit near Greenhorn Hill, marking the transition from the river valley to the steep timbered slopes of Hufford Ridge. Along the South Santiam River, small-scale details like the Meneares Bend Campground, a quiet cemetery, and the Short Bridge offer points of interest for local historians and genealogists. The presence of gaging stations and multiple parks highlights the importance of water management and forest recreation during this era of Oregon's development.
