1922 Map of Lebanon

About this map

The North Branch Santiam River and South Santiam River define the fertile bottomlands of Linn County on this 1922 advance sheet. Agriculture and early industry drive the settlement patterns, as seen in the concentration of family-named schools such as Munkers School and Arnold School and the infrastructure of the Lumber Flume near Peters. The railroad is a central feature, with the Southern Pacific (Woodburn-Springfield Branch) connecting communities like Shelburn, West Scio, and Crabtree. This survey provides a look at the landscape before modern development, detailing water management via the Sidney Ditch and Jefferson Ditch. Local history is captured through specific landmarks like Ballins Mill and several burial grounds, including Miller Cemetery and Franklin Butte Cemetery.
