1969 Map of Greenberry

About this map

The William L Finley National Wildlife Refuge dominates the southern landscape of this Benton County survey, preserving a complex wetland ecosystem where Muddy Creek feeds into McFadden Marsh. The 1969 data shows a rural community defined by agricultural drainage and the Southern Pacific rail line, which passes through the small settlement of Greenberry. To the north, the terrain transitions into riverine features near the Long Tom R, including John Smith Island and the Booneville (Site), indicating the shifting course of local waterways. Genealogists will find notable value in the location of several family-named landmarks and burial grounds, such as Oakridge Cem and Armstrong Cem. The map also captures local education and infrastructure through the Inavale Sch and the Airport near the Corvallis boundary, illustrating the balance between conservation lands and the expanding mid-valley rural footprint.
