About this map

Lebanon and its surrounding Linn County landscape are defined by a complex network of water and rail as they appeared in the late 1960s. The Santiam River and its South Branch frame the eastern edge of the city, supplemented by vital industrial waterways like the Albany Santiam Canal and the Waterloo Santiam Canal. The local economy and transport are anchored by three major rail lines—the Southern Pacific, Burlington Southern, and Northern Pacific—which converge near settlements like Tallman and Irvinville.

Notable for local history, the map preserves the locations of numerous community anchors, including the Pioneer Cem and Masonic Cem, alongside several educational institutions such as Tennessee Sch and Gore Sch. To the southwest, the dramatic rise of Peterson Butte and Sand Ridge provides a sharp contrast to the developed corridors of the Willamette Valley floor, where the Lebanon Airport and industrial sites like the Gravel Pit signify the era's mid-century growth.
