1939 Map of Molalla

South toward the boundary of Marion County, the topography shifts into the foothills of the Cascades near Scotts Mills, where Abiqua Creek and Beaver Creek drain the timberlands. The map documents numerous smaller settlements and crossroads like Yoder, Marquam, and Mulino, while place names like Marks Prairie and Gribble Prairie preserve the names of early settler families who established the region's first farms.
