1957 Map of Marys Peak

About this map

Marys Peak towers over this mid-century landscape, a high point marking the convergence of the Siuslaw National Forest and the Corvallis Watershed. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of the Luckiamute River and Marys River, where small timber and mountain communities like Nashville, Summit, and Burnt Woods are linked by the Southern Pacific railroad and Highway 20. The map records essential infrastructure of the era, from the Big Elk Guard Station and a Microwave Relay to the Oregon State Fish Hatchery.
