1950 Map of Marcola

About this map

The Mohawk River and McKenzie River valleys define the geography of this mid-century survey, showcasing a landscape of timber and agriculture. To the north, the timber-dependent community of Wendling and the settlement of Marcola serve as hubs along the Southern Pacific rail line, which snakes through the valley following the river. The southern portion of the map transition into the burgeoning outskirts of Springfield, where industrial infrastructure like a Filtration Plant and Power Plant appear alongside established landmarks such as the Hayden Bridge. Local life is anchored by numerous rural institutions, including the Yarnell Church and schools like Mohawk Union HS and Camp Creek Sch. Genealogists will find value in the detailed placement of the Camp Creek Cemetery and Mt Vernon Cem, which stand near the convergence of the Willamette River Middle Fork.
