1955 Map of Lowell
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
The Middle Fork Willamette River and Coast Fork Willamette River shape this mid-1950s landscape, illustrating the major hydraulic transformations of the mid-20th century. The newly formed Dexter Reservoir, anchored by the Lookout Point Dam, has altered the valley floor near Lowell, while the Dorena Reservoir dominates the southern edge of the survey area near the Row River. This era shows the coexistence of traditional farming settlements like Pleasant Hill and Cloverdale with the critical infrastructure of the Southern Pacific Railroad and the Oregon Pacific and Eastern Railway. Local history is preserved in landmarks such as the Cloverdale Cem and Cloverdale Sch, while the presence of a Quarry and various spillways reflects the region's industrial and engineering activity.
