1951 Map of Lyons

About this map

Silver Creek Falls State Park and the surrounding timberlands of the Willamette Hills define this mid-century survey of the Cascade foothills. The map documents an intricate network of waterfalls, including South Falls, Lower South Falls, and Winter Falls, preserved within the recreational area while industrial activity continues nearby. The southern portion of the sheet follows the corridor of the North Fork Santiam River, where the Southern Pacific railroad serves the valley communities of Lyons and Mehama.
