About this map

Halsey and Shedd serve as primary hubs along the Southern Pacific railroad corridor in Linn County, highlighting the region's agricultural and transport infrastructure in the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Calapooia River and a complex network of drainage features like Shedd Slough, Walton Slough, and Spoon Creek.

Land use patterns are visible through the inclusion of the Sodom Dam and a series of large-scale pipelines crossing the valley floor. High-ground features such as the Powell Hills, Saddle Butte, and Ward Butte provide topographical contrast to the surrounding plains. Notable local landmarks for genealogical research include the Bunker Hill Cem and Central Linn High Sch, while the Pioneer Villa Airstrip and Boston Mill Road indicate the established aviation and transit routes of the era.
