1939 Map of Molalla

About this map

The Molalla River corridor and its surrounding agricultural prairies define this landscape at the end of the 1930s. Centered on the town of Molalla, the area shows a dense network of early 20th-century rural infrastructure, including the Southern Pacific railroad line connecting the timber and farming communities of Mulino, Liberal, and Union Mills. The map reveals the distribution of early educational life through numerous local schoolhouses such as Whiskey Hill Sch, Dryland Sch, and School Ninety One.
