1951 Map of Leaburg

About this map

The Mc Kenzie River corridor serves as the primary artery for settlement and infrastructure in this 1951 survey of Lane County. Industrial and conservation efforts are evident along the river's path, most notably at the Leaburg Power Plant and the McKenzie Salmon Hatchery. These facilities, alongside the Leaburg Dam, reflect the mid-century development of water resources and wildlife management in the Pacific Northwest. Small riverside communities like Leaburg, Vida, and Deerhorn follow the winding topography, providing a glimpse into the historic residential patterns before more intensive modern expansion.
