1976 Map of Lebanon

About this map

Lebanon sits prominently on the eastern side of this 1976 orthophotoquad, showing a detailed aerial view of the town's residential and industrial layout during the mid-1970s. The agricultural landscape to the west is heavily defined by the meandering path of Burkhart Creek and the broad floodplains of the South Santiam River, which winds through the northeastern corner of the map. The integration of aerial photography with traditional survey data by the Soil Conservation Service provides a clear look at land use patterns and field boundaries. To the south, the settlement of Crowfoot marks a distinct transition point near the base of Peterson Butte, a prominent geographic feature that dominates the southwestern quadrant. This map captures the region before more recent suburban expansion, preserving the mid-century relationship between the valley floor's irrigation networks and the growing urban center.
