1957 Map of Mc Minnville

About this map

Mcminnville and the winding reaches of the Yamhill River define this mid-century look at Yamhill County. As a hub of agricultural and educational activity, the city is anchored by the campus of Linfield College and a network of community institutions, including the Mcminnville Grange Hall, the County Fairgrounds, and several local schools like W T Newby Sch. The landscape is etched by the Southern Pacific railroad, which historically connected the valley's smaller outposts like Whiteson, St Joseph, and Eola Village. Toward the south, the terrain rises into the Amity Hills and Walnut Hill, where the land transitions from the dense street grids of the city to orchards and farmland. Genealogists will find significant detail in the inclusion of several burial sites, such as the Masonic Cemetery, St James Cemetery, and Taylor Cemetery, providing a clear record of local family history and settlement patterns during this era of growth.
