1950 Map of Marcola

About this map

The Mohawk River and McKenzie River valleys define this mid-century look at Lane County, where the Southern Pacific railroad served a network of timber and agricultural communities. Centered on the town of Marcola, the landscape is dotted with local institutions like the Mohawk Union HS and the Yarnell Church. To the north, the rail line terminates at Wendling, while the southern reaches show the early growth of Springfield and Thurston.
